I've got a couple of cards to share today using the Merry Everything stamp and Octo stencil from Simon Says Stamp's Sweet Wishes release.
I used two colors of ink for each of these backgrounds. This lighter color was blended over the entire stencil, and the darker colors was added using a smaller blending brush just in the center of those Octo designs. For the red, I used Terracotta and Brick, and Sprout and Fairway for the green.
These backgrounds were then trimmed down, coordinating cardstock mat was added, and then adhered to the card base.
The Merry Everything sentiment was stamped with Versa Clair black ink and then die cut. I added a bit of inking with the darker ink color around the outsides of the sentiment (be sure to use a heat gun to help dry the ink as Versa Clair stays wet a bit longer than most inks). The sentiment was then adhered with foam tape.
A added a few snowflakes from the Merry and Bright die set with Glossy White cardstock which were arranged around the sentiment.
These were a very quick make and would be great for mass producing.
