\"Ornament
\n<\/a>\"Weekly-Favorite\"
\n<\/a>Best of 2014!<\/strong><\/span><\/a>
\n<\/a>For today’s Inspiration Challenge on Splitcoast (IC470<\/a>), I chose THIS<\/a> for my first card and THIS<\/a> for my second. I’m actually using the same ornament image on both, just different techniques and I actually had to do “surgery” on my ornament image. I wanted a blank ornament but all I could find was this ornament which originally had a nativity scene inside, so I took a craft knife and carefully cut it out. On this triple ornament card, I saw a card Lydia posted on the SCS FB page of some\u00a0free form water color ornaments and really liked it. I don’t remember who did it or how long ago it was, or I’d link it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Ornament
\n<\/a>So after the image surgery, I stamped the ornament, masked &\u00a0stamped twice more using\u00a0pumice ink (after stamping off once) onto water color paper. This w\/c paper isn’t my fave..it’s a little rougher &\u00a0grainer than what I usually use, but I couldn’t remember where I put the other paper. Anyway, the pumice ink after stamping off 1 time, just leaves a bare outline that pretty much disappears when all the coloring is finished. Now the coloring took me a quite a while\u00a0because the color has to be painted in layers & allowed to dry in between. I’m not one to appreciate watching paint dry, so I helped it a lot w\/ a heat gun. The splotchy, free form look is intended to be that way &\u00a0I’m pretty satisfied with it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I added a little splatter &\u00a0went back w\/ a fine line paint brush to remove some paint for the highlights along the edges then stamped the\u00a0greeting<\/a>\u00a0& drew the lines to the ornament tops. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.\u00a0<\/span>\n<\/div>\n

\n<\/a>\"Weekly-Favorite\"<\/a>
\n<\/a>For this card, I stamped the same surgically enhanced ornament w\/ the black ink & colored with Copics. The stars were stamped on top and I used a white gel pen to fill the large one in then fussy cut it. The pine branches were stamped w\/ the evergreen ink then I die cut the panel w\/ one of the matting basics rectangles. I took a curved border die and cut off the bottom & attached the two parts on top of a \u00a0background I made a while back using distress inks, spritzing & w\/c paper. I added another little curved border strip on top of the bottom section & stamped half of a greeting under it (the other half is on the inside). \u00a0A die cut red bow was added on top & these are the Copics I used.<\/span><\/p>\n
