I am always looking for ways to speed up our Christmas card making activities…….with out a doubt tackling it in a production line manner is the most efficient way. However, I love to have fun when I’m crafting and I do get bored with making the same design over and over again. So I usually choose several designs and make them in different colours to slow the boredom down!
This is an adaptation of one of my last years cards, very quick and easy and perfect for the Inspiring Inkin’ Challenge No 3 which you can find here. The challenge was to use Black and White and a colour from the Bold Brights family, I have chosen Orchid Opulence, perhaps not everyones first choice of Christmas tree colour or even snow………but I love it hope you do too!
I have used a Versamark ink refill on an un-inked roller to allow me to clear emboss both the tree and the pot using my new favourite wheel Scandinavian. I used the matching Stamp Set Scandinavian Season for the snow flakes and Best Yet for the sentiment.
Stamps : Scandinavian Season, Scandinavian Wheel, Best Yet
Inks: Orchid Opulence
Cardstock: Orchid Opulence, Basic Black, Whisper White
Accessories: Oval Punch, Oval Scallop Punch, Brads, Paper piercer.
Happy Stampin’
Love the Orchid Opulence with Black & White. Know what you mean about mass production, the fun element flies out the window.
