Here we are to a brand new challange over Simon Says Stamp!

 

This week’s theme over Simon Says Stamp Monday Challange is create something for the winter holidays!

Christmas/Winter Holidays

I made this Christmas Card for my boss using my favorite Reindeer Dies!

I love this reindeer head, it is simply my favorite. you might have noticed it since I am using it a lot lately. I have this huge stash of dies that I once did for a workshop that now are just hanging there and so I grab them everytime I need one! It is not paper  but it is a material similar to plexiglass. I colored the deer backwards so that the front was slightly opaque. I used distress paint.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”3261″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ onclick=”zoom”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]The base of the card is simply Simon Says Stamp Cardstock, I cut it to a large size since this is a card i made for my boss, we bought him a gift for Christmas so they asked me to make the Card and we are a lot of people in the office so I had to make sure the card was able to fit everyone’s signature! I ripped a couple of Simon Says Stamp Vintage paper (sadly this is a discontinued item, I wish it was back in stock!!) and I glued them to the background with Gel Medium. Then I added a wash of gesso. When dry I applied modeling paste throught a stencil and used distress paint to color the background. I added a lot of water to my distress paint to make them watercolor looklike.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”3263″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ onclick=”zoom”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]I let it dry then I stitched around the card and glued it to another piece of cardstock. Glued down the reindeer and the sentiment.
I love this color palette and I hope my boss will like this card!

  2. Your gorgeous watery color-blending skills are matched by none! What a talent you have and it’s a treat to see what you create from week to week. I love the unexpected color palette you used here, too!

  3. As an extremely CAS card maker, you leave me in absolute awe of your talent with mixed media, Zoey! This is a stunning work of art. I know I’m gushing, but seriously, your creations are worthy of a gallery showing!! Happy Holiday hugs, Darnell
