Holiday Doodle Joy

Welcome back!  Happy Sunday.  Hoping you will have a chance to be creative today.

Today, I created a simple little holiday card.

I am playing with: Double Trouble (#228) and the 3-2-1 Recipe: Three Doodles, Two Layers, and One Sentiment; Partnering with Try A Sketch on Tuesday (#708) for the Layout; and choosing Facebook’s Colour INKspiration (#220) Palette substituting Crushed Curry for Darling Duckling.

Here is the result, with some inspiration from Pinterest:

HEARTS COME HOME – DT228 – TSOT707 – CI220

Steps:

  • Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Crushed Curry cardstock.
  • Card Front: (4¼” x 5½”) Basic White cardstock.
    • The Hills, Trees and Star images were lightly sketched with a Pencil.
    • Using a Blending Brush, Cajun Craze ink was lightly applied to the Hills.
    • The Trees were colored with the Light and Dark Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends Markers.
    • The Star was colored with the retired Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blendabilities Marker (still in my collection).
    • Using the Black Stampin’ Up Journaling Pen, the Hills, Trees and Star Doodles were defined and then the pencil marks were erased.
    • The sentiment, Joy to the World, from the retired Hearts Come Home stamp set was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
    • The Card Front was then die-cut with the (3¾” x 5⅛”) Rectangle die from the retired Deckled Rectangles Dies set.
  • Additional Doodles were added around the Card Front after it was adhered to the card base.

And that is a wrap!

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