Holly on Corrugated Card

Description

A textured natural white card has a square of green corrugated card in the centre. A holly design is stamped on white card, trimmed around and mounted on the corrugated card. The holly design has a glitter background. Chain border stickers surround the square plus red pen dots. A Season's Greetings stamp and tiny holly motifs complete the design.

Materials used

• Textured natural white deckle edge greetings card 100mm x 100mm (4 x 4 ins)
• Rectangle of green corrugated card
• Sheet of white card
• Rubber stamp Hero Arts LL706 Holly (part of set with pad)
• Rubber stamp Hero Arts LL513 Season's Greetings (set of 3 stamps)
• Tombow brush pen red
• Tombow brush pen green 177
• Crystal glitter glue
• Sticker No 81 gold border

• Scissors

Method

Ink the Hero Arts holly stamp with a green Tombow pen and stamp it on a piece of white card. Colour the holly berries of the stamp with a red pen. Add crystal glitter glue to the background areas of the holly design.

When this is dry cut around it leaving approximately 2mm white border all round (1/8 in).

Cut a rectangle of green corrugated card to 48mm wide by 42mm high (2 x 1¾ ins). Mount the holly design in the centre of this with adhesive.

Mount the corrugated card on the greeting card with adhesive, using the illustration as a guide.

Make a border of chain stickers around the corrugated card. It actually uses the bit left between the chains. Add small red dots with a Tombow pen.

Ink the Hero Arts Season's Greetings stamp with a green Tombow pen and stamp it on the card beneath the corrugated rectangle.
