A big congrats to Karren, the newest Featured Stamper! Such a fabulous gallery she has! Lots I want to case, but I was drawn to THIS really cute card. I kept the Christmas theme and colors, but I donÂ’t have anything like those cute little Christmas kitties, so I used different images, an oval instead of a square & a grid die instead of the scallops & twine & moved the greeting.
I’ve always loved this candy cane image & for a quite a while I’ve wanted to try the “no line” technique. Well, it’s harder than I imagined. I stamped the image w/ gray ink (so it wouldn’t really show) then carefully colored it with Copics. I definitely need more practice with this technique, but I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. I added a white grid die cut w/ a red background and a fussy cut holly image to finish it.
Congrats again, Karren! Thanks so much for looking! It's just been posted: The Write Stuff

Julie, I would just love to see what it takes for you to be REALLY happy with the no line technique. Those candy canes and bow couldn't be any more perfect. What a gorgeous Christmas card! Pinned and fav'd!
