Online Card Class--Holiday Card Workshop 2014

Just remembered there was an OnlineCardClass.com Holiday Card Workshop class that I wanted to take--and discovered it had started 2 days ago, on Monday.  I quickly signed up, but I'm a little behind.

When I started watching the videos, I saw that I didn't have the supplies that were used.  No problem, just used what I had on hand.  It won't look the same, but I'll get the ideas. 


I used some silver pigment ink to stamp snowflakes of various sizes (Lawn Fawn--Critters in the Artic) on a piece of blue cardstock. I don't have any embossing paste, and only one stencil I was given and haven't tried.

 I had originally tried to add some color to the card stock with dye ink spritzed with some water at the top, but it isn't really noticeable. When the ink was dry, I adhered it to a white card base.

I then stamped the moose and got out my Copic markers and colored it in (stamp is from the same set), and cut it out using a matching die.  This is more time consuming than the stamping and embossing that was used in the video, but I just got the stamp set and matching dies and wanted to use them. : )

I didn't do any fancy coloring, just a base coat and a single darker color added to give it a tiny bit of shading.

To finish the card, I tied a piece of gray baker's twine around the card, and stamped a Merry Christmas at the top (the stamp is probably from a Fiskar's stamp set, but I'm not sure which).
