Season’s Greetings

  I’m back today with another Christmas card as promised.  This card is a little different for me as it has no layers.  I masked off the area to be stamped with a background stamp with masking tape.  I stuck the tape to my clothes a few times to reduce the tackiness.  I then stamped the background stamp onto my card base.  I used a light color for this.  I then stamped the branch and then the cute cardinal.  I went over the leaves and berries with glitter gel. The cardinal got glitter gel around the beak.  I know it’s hard to see but trust me it’s there.  I used a black marker to color in the eye which kind of disappeared in the glitter. I used my white gel pen again to give the eye a highlight.

Here is the envelope that I stamped as well.

I like the back flap with just the branch.
