I thought I would list the six sentiments which make up the one piece stamp Christmas Sentiments which has a coordinating die. I have used a few on my cards to date (in Berrylicious ink or gold embossed).
- Merry & bright
- Joy to the world
- Let there be peace on Earth
- Hearts full of joy & wonder
- Believe in the magic of Christmas
- It's the most wonderful time of the year
Now I can see me using any of those sentiments on any Christmas card.
Today's card was an additional tutorial; we're provided instructions and a speed video ~5mins of the construction. I must admit by the time you do the make and take you are semi-expert at using so the speed video is all you need.
I am very happy to report that today when I stamped after my stenciling it was "perfect". So I learnt from my mistake yesterday and I ensured both times I stamped the card stock was firmly in the bottom corner of my MISTI. We stamped in a lighter blue ink first (Slumber) first, blended through the 3 stencils and then restamped over the top with a darker blue ink (Sapphire). I used my own tiny blender brushes for adding the detail in the middle of the leaves etc and did not like it as much as using the tiny blender brushes that Pinkfresh Studios gave us as swag. It was much harder with my old mini brush to just get a tad more colour.
