He, he, yes, I used “Funky Four” as the WORD Wednesday stamp set for this one. I’m usually rather traditional when it comes to Christmas, but a little funky doesn’t hurt once in a while.
So, the Word is “Gifts” and today’s letter is, of course, “F”. Here’s my take for you;
I started with a card base of Very Vanilla textured card stock, added a mat of Real Red and a pretty piece from Holly Berry Bouquet designer series paper. Those stripes come from the same package and that piece was matted with Wild Wasabi card stock.
I stamped the tree image first with Soft Suede classic ink and cut it out with the Extra-large Oval Punch. I cleaned off the stamp and stamped it again with Versamark. Wild Wasabi Stampin’ Emboss powder is now one of the great colors that are available and I used it for the tree branches. After it was heat set, I cut it out and popped it up onto the first image with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The tree image includes 3 little stars around the truck so I added 3 brads for a little color pop.
The real red mat was embossed in the Snow Burst embossing folder(you can click on the picture to see a little more detail).
The perfect greeting comes from “Sincere Salutations” with the addition of some bright brads for interest.
