Adding Dimension to a Holiday Card
Hello everyone!
Svitlana is here. Today I want to share a holiday card of a pretty simple design which I elevated by adding some dimensional touches.
To make the front panel of the card I used the Basic Plaid 3D Embossing Folder with a light green cardstock. Altenew embossing folders create such beautiful and prominent texture that they make half of a card already. To highlight the plaid design after embossing with the folder I swiped an Embossing Ink along the panel texture, added Pure White Embossing Powder and heat set it.
To make the ornament I used the Lovely Ornament Die Set. Die-cutting the leafy textured layer three times out of a Solar White Cardstock and stacking them on top of a white die-cut.
The leafy branches that were left after the ornament die-cutting I colored by blending the Shadow Creek Dye Ink using the Ink Blending Tool and then adding shading using the Mountain Pine Dye Ink and Detailed Blending Brushes.
I foam mounted the panel onto a white card base and then popped up the ornament on top. After that, I adhered the leafy branches onto the card as if they were tied to the ornament and added a hemp twine bow to it.
To make the sentiment I white embossed a stamp set from the Lovely Ornaments Stamp Set onto a red cardstock strip and popped it up onto the card.
This card was quite quick and easy to make and it features a pretty simple design. But because there are several dimensional the card looks much more interesting, I believe.
Have a wonderful day!
