The backordered Santa stamps from Stampavie finally came in. They are just in time for those who make their cards at the last minute like me. See how adorable the jolly old elf looks when colored with Copic markers and accented with Stickles. We also got to try the new tag trio set of dies from Spellbinders when making the buckle at the top of the card. The airbrushed background was an experiment, but not bad. I hope you enjoy our card and your holiday season. Merry Christmas!

I wanted words, and dimensional flowers, but felt like I needed a large leaf or pumpkin, or some fall related item to go with them. Below is the card I came up with. First I stamped the pumpkin from an Impression Obsession clear stamp set. Then I stamped it on scrap paper and cut out. Cut on the lines or a little bit inside. If you leave paper around the image, you’ll get a halo when you mask. Attach this scrap pumpkin over the stamped image with removeable tape. Then stamp the words with the flowers from a different Impression Obsession set. Remove the scrap paper mask and it looks like the flowers are behind the pumpkin! Color and blend. I stamped mine on a diecut of Nesties curved rectangles. Then I cut out the next size smaller curved rectangle and used it for a mask over the entire image. I attempted to airbrush the exposed edges with the Copic markers. I need more practice at that, but it is presentable. The tiny flowers are from Hero Arts. I stamped, colored, and mounted them on pop dots. Put the card together with layers and eyelets, and you have a great fall greeting.
