Hi everyone! Thanks for stopping by my blog! Today I am sharing my first Art Impressions creations for the new year! Now that the holidays are over, how long does it take for your family to take down the seasonal decorations? My card features the Holiday Mansion stamp set and the HM Accessory set. This holiday house is still rockin’ its festive decor! This project is featured on the Art Impressions blog today, check it out here!
I used four layers to create the card background. For the top layer I die cut a stitched scalloped rectangle from a bright blue piece of solid cardstock. I used the Blizzard stencil with Mermaid Lagoon oxide ink to decorate the solid cardstock. For the second layer I used a retired striped stencil with Mermaid Lagoon and Broken Glass oxide inks. For the final two layers I matted the striped cardstock with gold foil cardstock and red cardstock. I wrapped the four layers together with satin red ribbon and then added a bow!
This house is covered in holiday decor including the Santa and pile of gifts lawn ornaments, the bells, the wreath, and the Christmas tree in the window. When you open the front door it displays a hidden sentiment “A very merry Christmas from our home to yours!” The top door opens to show a hidden reindeer.
I used my Copic Sketch alcohol markers to color the house and the holiday decor. The colors I used are listed at the bottom of this post. To finish the card I added glitter enamel dots for embellishment.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Check back next week for more Art Impressions inspiration!
