The images used all come from one of the new Heartfelt Creations releases, called Holly Berry Filler Precut Set . This card is a great choice if you need a bunch of xmas cards and don't have a ton of time to make them all. It would take about the same amount of time to make 8 of these as 1, and the steps are super easy.
I stamped the pine branch images onto an acetate sheet using Olive Green Staz-On. After letting it dry I sponged on White Staz-On ink over top for a snowy effect. After that dried I used a brown permanent BIC marker to colour in the branch on the reverse.
All the circles and scalloped circles were cut using Spellbinder nestabilities (which HC also carries).
Then I coloured the pine cone image directly on the rubber stamp with my SU markers, then stamped on to the cardstock, after which I added some extra colour with my copics and copic airgun. Around the outside circle I added a bit of Encore ink in Gold.
To finish it off I added a bit of ribbon to the top. All in all a quick, easy (and inexpensive!) card to make :-)
Hope you all have a great week ahead!
