Love and snow at Christmas

Here's another card I created using the new SOA Winterhaven collection. Just like a few of my previous cards, this one was inspired by a card from an old PaperCrafts magazine. This card (cannot find the exact magazine and card(maker) right now), had 4 hearts in alternating colours (red/green) in a row. When I saw these hearts, it made me think of the heart die in the Good Stuff die set from the SOA Winterhaven collection.


I created my own 'patterned paper' by taking my green and red inks (Grass Skirt and Rockin' Red by Catherine Pooler) direct to paper and heat embossing the snow/star cluster from the Here we come a-caroling set repeatedly after the ink was dry and then die cut the heart several times. I used an eyelet tool to punch a hole in each of my hearts and a piercing tool to pierce holes in my card, so that I could thread my baker's twine through. To finish off, I stamped the sentiment ('Tis the Season) in black and rounded the bottom corners using my corner chomper. And since I was able to die cut several more hearts from my inked up panel, I created a second card using the same design.

    Eenvoudig en toch valt er veel te zien. Soms vind ik rood, groen,wit en dan nog zwart te hard met elkaar. Deze kleuren van CP zijn net iets zachter. Ik vind de sierlijkheid van de tekst ook prachtig. Leuk Mar.
