Happy Saturday, all! I have a Christmas card for you today; it was sort of a test, but it didn't come out too bad, but I will definitely be attempting this again, it was fun! The 52 Christmas Card Throwdown wants to see cards made with the Fractured Technique (there is a link on their blog), and the Jingle Belles want to see stickers! I just happened to use a sticker on my card, so yippee!
Here we go:
My vintage panel is from Cathe Holden's Christmas Flea Market Finds' Loving Christmas Wishes stickers. I cut a couple of strips from Poppy Parade using the Taylored Expressions Easy Strips dies...these were 1/2" and I think they're just a wee bit overpowering for my image. Next time I'll try the 1/4" ones! They all went on a One Horse Sleigh DSP from a couple of years ago.
I added a Simon Says Stamp Pretty Bow 2 diecut, shabbying it up a bit with some Crumb Cake ink, and an old sentiment from Cornish Heritage Farms on the inside.
This technique is incredibly easy and really eye-catching! I will definitely be trying it again, because heaven knows I have a plethora of Christmas papers!!!
I belong to a knitting/crocheting/crafting group at my church and it is full of extremely talented women! My friend Claudia recently created this afghan.....it was a labor of love and it took a LONG time:
Each white stripe is crocheted in a different stitch, and all the stars were crocheted, then sewn on individually! (She said they almost did her in!!!)
