I don’t make many Christmas cards that have a Winter and cold feel, because in Australia it is certainly not cold here at Christmas time but I really wanted to make a card using a brayered sky and I am still in love with my little Reindeer from Winter Post. I remember seeing this great card by Claire Daly and I used it as my inspration for my card and added a few more details. This is one of the cards in this weeks technique class, I have already had some of the classes but I still have a few spots left in other classes this week:

To show you what it looks like with falling “snow”.

For the inside I have stamped snowflakes from “Snow Swirled” in tones of Boarding Blue and Night of Navy, I added a little sparkle to the snowflake with Dazzling Diamonds. The sentiment is also from “Snow Swirled” which I have stamped on brayered cardstock and punched out with the wide oval punch.

Stamps: Snow Swirled, Winter Post and Le Jardin Botanique
Ink: White StazOn, Black StazOn, Boarding Blue and Night of Navy
Cardstock: Wispher White, Boarding Blue and Night of Navy
Other: Chunky Glitter, Dazzling Diamonds, Two Way Glue, Brayer, Wide Oval Punch and Acetate

To start with I just want to Thank everyone for the sweet and very supportive response I received over the past two days, I am very touched and grateful to have so many lovely readers and friends. Thank you really…..

One of my Favourite Techniques is brayering, I just love the simple effect it creates and it just works so well with all the Silhouette stamps we have in the Catalogue. This card is really very simple, all I have done is stamped the image in Night of Navy on Whisper white Cardstock and Baja Breeze grass. Then started to brayer Baja Breeze from the top and working my way down the cardstock. Then I added a little Night of Navy along the top.

I have used Urban Garden Designer Series Paper for the Background, I just love using Printed Papers on my cards, and I really love that with Stampin’ Up! my Printed Papers match the inks and in some case’s they even match my stamps. Don’t forget that the Promotion for May is buy Three Designer Series Papers and get one FREE. Read more details HERE.

I am back with not a great card but a card… *So cute* yesterday I got 2 emails asking if I have gone “shy” again not blogging…NO, I have been SO sick (still am) with a bad case of the flu and my voice sounds like a cross between a Man and a Horse, SO I am not allowed to talk for the next 2 days because I am at the Papercraft Festival in Sydney this weekend and I NEED to be able to talk all weekend so the doctor told me to let my voice box rest…This NO talking thing is hard, I never realised how much I like talking.

I will stop talking and get on to my card….

I have finally given this brayered background technique a try…and I really enjoyed it, I had been scared to give it a try because it looked hard but it is easy and FUN. I have used every Pink ink pad I own on this card. It’s just simple in design but simple works…. You know WHAT, I do like this card and it looks like silk in real life…..
