Hello again!

I’m sharing my last card from Simon Says Stamp’s mini holiday release! Today’s card uses all three of the new products that were released together: Twinkly Lights, Christmas Foliage Stencils, and Winter Flower. It is such a great release and I love all three of these products!

The highlight of today’s card features the Twinkly Lights dies. I die-cut the string and bulbs from Simon Says Stamp Inks and pieced them together. On each bulb, I ink-blended the tops of each bulb with a coordinating ink to give them more depth.

SSS Ink:  Schoolhouse Red, Field PSI, Citrine PSI, Royal PSI

SSS CS:  Lipstick Red, Green Leaf, Green Apple, Banana, Island Blue, Doll Pink

I used Red Lipstick ink for the background and ink-blended the Christmas Foliage Stencils onto it using Schoolhouse Red ink. I faded the stencil into a full inked section. This is to hide the fact that the stencil I used is slimline-sized and doesn’t full cover an A2-sized panel. Next, I stamped the sentiment from the Winter Flower set and embossed it with white embossing powder.

I adhered my Twinkly Lights, added some sparkles using my white gel pen, then topped each bulb with some Glossy Accents for shine and dimension. I know it often feels like there’s not much you can do with some Christmas lights so I thought I would share some inspiration that gives your card a bit more texture and interest with the stencil and ink-blending. I hope you like it!

Thank you so much for stopping by!
