CUTplorations December Challenge: Mixed Media Happy Holidays Card

Hello everyone…First week of December… The holly jolly season has began! There will be more and more Christmas theme projects you will see on my blog 😀 And the project today, the first Monday of the month, I created a mixed media Happy Holidays card inspired by this CUTplorations December Challenge image.

CUTplorations December Challenge

I created the card background with Senecio 1 – ARTplorations Stencil, watercolor paper 140 lbs, Gelli Plate, and 2 shades of green arcylic paints. When I work with Gelli Plate, I always ended up with more than one prints that I can use for other projects.

After the gelli print dried well, I sprayed some light teal acrylic paint spray and dried it with craft heater. I run the panel through my diecutting machine with the largest die from Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies. I added it on the card base with Tombow Xtreme Adhesive.

I die cut the Happy Word Die and Holiday Word Die out of Gold Metallic Cardstock. I added them on the card with liquid glue.

I stamped the stocking image from Warm Hands Warm Hearts Stamp with Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad and colored it with color pencil. And then I cut it using the matching Warm Hands Warm Hearts Coordinating Dies. After that, I added some liquid glue on the top of the stocking and added some glitter on it. Set it aside to dry.

I added the stocking, snowflakes and silver sequins on the card. That’s all my card for you today 🙂 I hope it inspire you to create and share your project with us for this month’s challenge.
