Heart of Christmas, Joy of Noel

Each Monday, some of the Art With Heart team are joining the Heart of Christmas Blog Hop to bring you creative inspiration showcasing our September-December Mini catalogue and Annual catalogue Christmas products.

Today I am using product from our upcoming Mini catalogue, available from 6 September!

The Joy of Noel bundle was my focus for today’s card. I knew I wanted to use Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock for my Christmas combination. I think this will be a go to for me this year!

On a Pretty Peacock cardbase, I added a piece of Pebbled Path Lustre Specialty Paper and then a layer of designer paper from the Inked Botanicals DSP. Now to create the wreath, I started by cutting 8-10 of the wreath pieces in Pretty Peacock and some of the smaller pieces in the Lost Lagoon Soft Shimmer Paper. You know me, I love some sparkle!

I took some Fluid 100 Watercolour paper and wet it with the widest brush of the Water Painters, and carefully picked up some ink from the Pebbled Path inkpad and applied it across the paper. Once I was happy with the result, I set it aside to dry, while I adhered the wreath to the card. The ‘Noel’ letters are die cut in Berry Burst Soft Shimmer Paper and Mini Dimensionals added behind them.  Now that the Pebbled Path watercolour is dry, A stamped the sentiment along with some holly leaves which were die cut. The sentiment was added first with the holly leaves, then I could add the Noel in place. To finish off, I added some Pebbled Path In Color Dots to the wreath.

On the inside I stamped the border in Lost Lagoon ink and the sentiment from the Christmas Classics stamp set, in Pretty Peacock. Did you notice the same stamp I used for the border, is also around the edges of the wreath?!!!

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you can join me next Monday for more festive inspiration!
