If you’re still undecided about Christmas card designs for this year, here’s one last one from me to help you choose.
Process
- Cut a panel of black card to the width of your fairy lights stamp, and a height to leave an even border all the way round when you attach it to your card blank later.
- Stamp your fairy lights in embossing ink – I used a stamping press to keep them all level and evenly spaced.
- Sprinkle over your embossing powder of choice and heat til just melted.
- Flip your fairy lights stamp to the other way up and repeat the stamping and heat embossing in the spaces between.
- Use a white paint pen to fill in each lightbulb, then colour over the top with felt tip pen. I experimented with a couple of different combos of pencil and pen – this is what I thought made them shine brightest!
- Finish off the lightbulbs with Glossy Accents. I love the texture these little raised domes bring
- Add your sentiment sitting on the wires between the lights. I tried handwriting in white pen first but it didn’t look quite right so I found a website where I could type it to look like it was made on a label maker, printed it on lightweight card and stuck it down covering my handwriting.
- Drag a gold ink pad along the edges of your card front, pop your black panel in the middle raised up on foam tape and you’re done!
