CASE'ing Paper

CASE'ing Paper
Originally uploaded by HikerCynthia

i had a piece of BoBunny Christmas paper laying on my desk, and I thought....that would be SO COOL as a card!

So I CASE'd the designer paper.

And as with everything I attempt to duplicate, this turned out nothing like the original, so I don't think I'll have any copyright infringement problems. Ha ha ha.

This is kind of an involved card, but not hard at all.

I die cut the ornaments, ran them through an embossing folder, then highlighted the swirls with gold ink. Part of the die cut is the ornament top--the hook holder part--and I colored those with a gold paint pen.

I grabbed a piece of cream cardstock and stamped the pine bough stamp twice, once upright and then again at an angle. I stamped the pine cone image, then stamped a different pine cone and cut it out, attaching it using 3D Dots to pop it up.

I added berries using Stickles. Then I distressed the edges with Antique Linen and Walnut Stain Distress Ink. I also brushed Forest Moss Distress Ink in the lower left corner, to create a look of fullness.

Finally, I stamped the sentiment near the top. I think I should have placed that nearer the bottom, but I kind of like the clean and simple look with all the white (cream?) space.
