Rustic Centerpiece – Season’s Greetings

Welcome back!  Happy Tuesday…

The other day, I needed to create a project that showcased On-Line Exclusive products.  You may have seen it.  I thought I would give you all the details in today’s post.

Influences: Facebook’s Global Design Project (#507) and Crafter’s Café (#321) for Christmas in July, sharing with Farm Quest Country Christmas (#22), bringing the Outdoor Charm Indoors and Stampin’ Up! Only (#381) Designer’s Choice.

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Real Red cardstock.
• Background Panel: (4” x 5¼’) Basic Beige cardstock.
  • The sentiment, Season’s Greetings, from the Decorative Trees stamp set was stamped with Real Red ink.
  • The Holiday Decorative image from the Rustic Centerpiece stamp set was stamped with Pecan Pie ink.
• Decoration – Multiple Stamping: Garden Green, Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie and Basic White cardstock scraps with Pecan Pie, Garden Green and Memento Tuxedo Black inks.
  • Stamping: Pecan Pie onto Crumb Cake, Garden Green onto Garden Green, Pecan Pie onto Pecan Pie and Memento Tuxedo Black onto Basic White.  Each component of the scene was fussy-cut with Paper Snips.
  • The components stamped onto Basic White were colored with Stampin’ Blends Markers.  Colors chosen: Candle – Light and Dark Real Red; Flame – Light Wild Wheat (retired); Tree Pot – Dark Wild Wheat (retired); Holly Sprig – Dark Shaded Spruce; and Berries – Light Cherry Cobbler.
  • The scene was fitted back together with some pieces popped up with Dimensionals.
  • Additional shading was added with the Light Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blend Marker.

For a simple stamping, just stamps, ink and paper card, this one packs quite a punch with its texture and dimension.  Happy Holidays!

Thanks for spending some of your time with me today.  Cheers,  Jolanda!
