Cardio Christmas Theme Card

 
 
Cardio Stamps
 
I cut a base card from my Lifestyle Dies and also a frame which I Distress inked.
Used Vintage Phot to stamp wreath and then very lightly inked over the branches to add a bit more depth. Red berries were Stickles and Diamond Stickles for the snow effect.
I love the compositions you can get with even the smallest of stamps..

Chocolate Baroque Background Stamp

 
Background Stamp Card
 

I wondered how the  Christmas Baubles background would be as a stand alone card.. So.....Stamped onto card twice with silver detail EP  and then chose elements to Decoupage. Added bows and then mat and layering to finish. Pen lined the edge of the card to finish. Since the photo I have Used Treasure Silver to add a little more detail.

Cardio Christmas Wreath

 
 
Cardio Stamps for my card project today
 
 
 
Stamped up wreath first with Versafine to create a circle - did mine "by eye" but you could always pencil a circle in. Looking at the branch you will see it lends itself to flow one way so the ends of the branches don't stick out. You can always have a practice on a piece of copy paper first...
 
Used Distress Inks - weathered wood to lightly place hillocks. Left a gap when I did the horizon to use Dried Marigold for the setting sun.
 
Stamped the other features - house, fence, trees and deer. With the deer I grounded him after I had stamped as it's sometimes harder to line up stamp straight onto a line. Added Stickles for snow effect and Liquid Pearls for berries on the wreath
For this card a 6 " x 6" I used the branch from the Oriental Blossom. A bigger branch for a 7" x 7" is in the Greenery Set.
here are a couple of links for some sets from Cardio and also the titles of other set ( couldn't get the link)
Winter Walks A6 Card-io Clear stamp

Brushos Chocolate Baroque Stamp from Wisteria Lane Set


Wisteria Lane Stamp

 
The stamps in this set are beauties and in some way seem "delicate" to me. I created my Brusho Background and stamped the image with Versafine. Hi lighted the flower with white Rangers enamel and coloured the little butterfly ( part of the set ) with Spectrum Noir pencils.
here's the link for the stamp .......
 
 
thanks for looking.......
