Christmas card challenge Beauty of the Season

Hello there, here, the next few posts will cover the Christmas cards we made on my Christmas card Challenge Class. It was a fabulous day and the ladies were great company. The first card we made used the Beauty of the Season stamp set, one of my favourites. We used an A4 piece of Cherry Cobbler folded in half and stamped the Gorgeous Grunge in Versamark then sprinkled with gold embossing powder and heat set. We then stamped the Dictionary stamp in Crumb Cake onto Very Vanilla card. The bird and a sentiment from the Beauty of the Season were also stamped onto separate pieces of Very Vanilla card stock. All the edges were then distressed and then inked in Crumb cake. A double bow and a length of Very vanilla seam binding were wet and screwed up and left to dry. Once dry the length was wrapped around the dictionary piece of card and mounted onto the base card. Old Olive card stock was cut and distressed to fit the bird and sentiment stamps. We watered down some Crumb Cake ink then using a paint brush flicked the ink over the bird and sentiment to continue the grunge look.These were then matted onto the card the picture flat the sentiment on Dimensionals. An Antique Brad was wrapped around the centre of the bow and this was attached to the seam binding on the card with Glue Dots. The last addition was Dazzling Details to add a snow effect. I am entering this into the Paper Players #220 Sketch Challenge, Vintage.  Hope you like it. Thanks for looking, Joanne x
