I've been thinking about my Christmas cards lately, so I thought that I would like to share a simple but elegant Christmas card with you today. I chose an Aged Sheet Music Scrapblock, along with a sentiment from the Christmas Expressions set. I knew that I wanted to try out a new damask mask as well, using my Copic airbrush system.
I started by stamping the music background in Memento London Fog and sponging distress ink on its edges.
Next I measured to find the center point of both the top and the bottom, then placed my self-adhesive Damask mask down in the center of the background.
I chose a Copic E44 marker to use with my Copic Airbrush System to airbrush over the mask. When I removed it, I had the clean damask silhouette on the cardstock.
To finish the card, I chose a black mat layer and a red layer to go under the sentiment (cut with a Spellbinders Tag die), and edged all of the pieces with a gold paint pen. I tied the sentiment on with a sheer gold ribbon and added a red micro dot twinkle sticker over the "i."
This would be a pretty simple card to mass-produce; the part that takes the longest might just be fiddling with the knot to make it lay right! Thanks for visiting today.
