Happy Holidays: Retro Style...
Hello! It is Lisa Lahiff here with you today, and I’m very excited to share this CAS Christmas Card with a Retro Feel…
I used a fun mix of products to create this card including: Retro Ornaments by Avery Elle, Lawn Fawn Stitch Border Cuts, and set #5 of the Tim Holtz Distress Crayons. To be honest this card started out as a happy accident. When I first got my distress crayons I just wanted to play around and test them out so I mixed a few colors onto watercolor cardstock and went over them with a baby wipe. I then spritzed it with some water and perfect pearls and set it off to dry. The stitched background was inspired by a card I had seen Jennifer McGuire create quite some time ago, and I had been itching to create one too so I did. I also decided to round the bottom of the stitched background with My Favorite Things Die-namic Stitched Basic Edges. I then went back to my now dry watercolor cardstock and stamped the ornament images with Versafine Ink, cut them out and added a few accents with a gold pen. I stamped the sentiment in the right corner of some patterned paper, and then I layered it all onto my cardbase.
Thank you so much for stopping by and Happy Crafting!
