1. Trim and die cut an oval from one of the Christmas Wallpapers using a Stitched Ovals Thinlits die. Set oval aside for a future use.
2. Smear Wallpaper panel randomly with Crazing and set aside to dry.
4. Heat emboss white greeting with Versamark ink and clear powder. Glue this one to red greeting using Distress Collage Medium Matte. Set aside to dry.
6. Using the stamp platform, stamp the wood image from Tim Holtz Lumberjack stamps set in Frayed Burlap ink two times on dampened trimmed water color paper panel. Spritz card with water to blend the join line a little. Dry with heat tool.
7. Ink music image from the old Music & Advert stamp set with Pumice Stone ink. Blot some of the ink from the stamp with a paper towel, and make that impression at the center of the panel. Dry. Blend panel with Frayed Burlap ink. Splash with water droplets and dry. Adhere to red card.
10. Machine emboss ribbon from Festive Greens and die cut from Metallic Kraft Stock. While the die cut is still in place, sand, allowing just the high spots to be sanded. Remove the die cut and sand just the edges of the bow and tips of the ribbon with a nail file.
11. Drip bow with Smolder Alcohol Pearl and allow to dry. This adds instant vintage aging to the bow.
13. Assemble card using Collage Medium Matte to adhere all surfaces.
Here are a few tricks I used on the second card...
Here is a set of A2 sized cards I made using the Christmas Worn Wallpaper. It was so easy to throw these together start to finish in less than a couple of hours with the help of a Tim Holtz die cut snowflake, Christmas Paper Dolls, Ephemera and Snippets and some sprinkles of Distress Clear Rock Candy Glitter. Everything was given a worn vintage look with the help of Frayed Burlap and Vintage Photo inks. I'm showing a couple close-ups so you can see the snowy detail.
Happy crafting!
