This card is for three of the challenges for this week, TLC - this week's challenge is to REPEAT (AT LEAST THREE TIMES) a sentiment for a BACKGROUND, and put another image in the foreground. Judy got the idea from her friend Kim Kim Schofield who in turn got the idea from Jennifer McGuire. I subscribe to Jennifer's blog and had already seen the tutorial, you can find it here; http://www.jennifermcguireink.com/20...sentiment.html
The CAS challenge, this week we are looking for you to include 3 of the same thing on your creation, I have three Santa hats although the top one is a little hard to see under the ribbon.
The colour challenge which is a mid green like SU's Garden Green, black and any type of red, I chose SU Poppy Parade.
First of all I stamped the three Santa hat images the top one being a mirror image first stamped onto some rubber then onto the card. I then masked the images with cutouts of the image on post it notes.
I sponged Poppy Parade red onto the card with a shaving brush.
Next I went to stamp my first Ho Ho Ho but the stamp fell of the acrylic block and made a mess on the card so I threw the whole lot away and gave up in disgust.
Second attempt one day later, all went well after changing the acrylic block and giving the stamps a severe talking to.
I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to position the stamp, stamping the third from the bottom in Versa Mark and then using green embossing powder to give it some pop.
The little hats are coloured with copic markers and have little rhinestones in the sprig of holly on each hat. I put Flower Soft around the brim and on the pom pom. I added some green gingham ribbon and finally inserted some red A4 paper as the inside with a Christmas greeting from the SU Christmas Messages set......and that's all folks.
