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.
