Christmas is in the Air

I did a workshop last week and highlighted a few sets that are 40% off right now during the a muse studio "Everyday is a Holiday" sale.  In the spirit of my "Halloccasions" cards we made this Christmas card using a Valentine set (Love is in the Air), and we made a get well card using a Christmas set (Hark) and we also made a masculine birthday card using a Halloween set (Nevermore) which is a true "Halloccasions" card. Stay tuned and I'll post that one soon!

Love is in the Air Skyline

One of the many cool things about Amuse Studio card stock is that one side is colored and the other side is white which allows for lots of creative options. For my "Love is in the Air" skyline card I folded Winter Sky card stock with the color/blue side toward the inside.  Then I stamped the building image on the front of the card (the white side) with Seattle ink.  I hand cut around the tops of the buildings leaving the left fold/score in tact.  Then I stamped the buildings again with black ink on scrap of Seattle & Pebble card stock, cut them out and added them with 3-D foam for some dimension.  I also used the edge of my black Tombow marker to outline the building edges so they would pop more.

Hugs & Kisses Candy Box

Red, Black & White are standard Valentine colors but Valentine or not its one of my all-time favorite color combinations.  For the stripes on the bottom I just used a piece of our onyx treat bags cut to fit on the front of the box.  I colored the heart with Copics and hand drew the "patch" with the Copic blender pen.
