Sharing a fun
Christmas card I made for my former manager using the Hop Hop Set from Art
Impressions.
There’s four us
who used to work for the same manager and although we’ve all moved to different
teams we came together for a Christmas lunch at his house and this was the card
I made for us to sign. Being four, I
had to do some masking with the stamp to add in an extra woman, which turned
out to be way trickier than it should have been!
The layout of my
card is from the current sketch at Freshly Made Sketches. I added interest to my otherwise pretty CAS
card through layers of plain cardstock and some of the Tim Holtz Deco
Sheets. When it came to the sentiment,
there was no way I was going to be able to mask as I needed to for it to be in
one line so I decided to print my own. That
also allowed me to alter it slightly to fit with the festive season.
For my colours I’ve
used the current palette at Merry Monday, picking up all of the colours in the
various outfits and bouncy balls. To keep
this Christmassy though, I’ve used red and green as the base of my card.
As this is a
Christmas card and it is for a guy I’m entering it in the current challenge at The Male Room. Being for a guy I went pretty
CAS on it. The only embellie is a Fluted
Star from Tim Holtz, which I added to cover a stray bit of inking (didn’t quite
get the masking right!).
