more color mondays – berry burst, old olive and fresh freesia

by nataliegramleystamps | Nov 18, 2024 | card samples, Christmas card ideas, color challenge, die cutting, embossing folders, more color mondays, my favorites, stamps ink paper, techniques

Today’s More Color Mondays color challenge is layers of glimmer and trees of Berry Burst, Old Olive and Fresh Freesia in a non-traditional Christmas card for this installment of More Color Mondays.

Measurements:
BASE: Berry Burst CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
scrap for Christmas die cut
Basic White CS: 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″
scrap for Christmas die cut
4″ x 5 1/4″ for background layer
Fresh Freesia CS: scrap for circle die
Glimmer paper: 2″ strips for tree die cuts

Using a blending brush, color the Basic White CS 4″ x 5 1/4″ with Berry Burst ink.

Spray the layer with a Stampin’ Spritzer and coat with a fine layer of water spritz.

Sprinkle the layer with the Wink of Stella pen.

Emboss the layer with the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder.
Adhere the layer onto the 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ Basic White layer.
Adhere both layers to the card base.

Stamp the “in your heart” sentiment onto the Basic White circle die cut from the Stylish Shapes die set with Berry Burst ink.
(I eventually changed this layer to Fresh Freesia CS)

Die cut the Glimmer Paper with the Peaceful Evegreens die set.
Adhere to the left side of the card base.

Pop up the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals onto the right-hand side of the card base.

I die cut the Christmas word die from the Peaceful Seasons dies from Berry Burst CS.
Adhere to the top half of the circle die.

Die cut the Christmas word matte in Basic White CS.
Emboss it in the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder.

I decided I needed the white matte under the Berry Burst CS for the Christmas word die.

I added some Natural Linen Thread in green around the White and brushed layer.
I had added pink Pastel Adhesive-Based Sequins.

I replaced the Basic White circle with a Fresh Freesia circle.

This unusual winter scene is bright and beautiful! Try this layered technique and create a non-traditional Christmas card.

Now go and create some artwork of your own – one stamp at a time.

Happy Stampin’
Natalie
