Make Art for Christmas II

I have another Christmas card to link to Wendy Vecchi's  September Make Art Challenge. 

 

For this card I used Wendy's Basically Brick Stencil with Orange Blossom Ink.   I didn't ink it completely leaving some open spaces.  I stamped and stenciled the wreath from the SISI  For the Holidays set and the sentiment from Holiday Art.  I stamped the bow on a piece of the background I created earlier using WV Archival Re-inkers and Rubbing Alcohol (see this post) , cut it out and layered it over the wreath with foam dots.  I added some red rhinestones and an Idea-ology Gum Drop that I colored with Butterscotch Alcohol Ink.

You can find out how I made the background (before inking the brick stencil) on my first Make Art for Christmas post here.

I was totally inspired by Wendy's card below from her new brochure

 

While I had all my WV supplies out -  I also created a thank you card, using yet another piece of the inked background I had made.

 I stenciled the trees from the SISI Holiday Icons set.  I stamped parts of the panel with Script and Ornate Dots background stamps.  The lacey stamp across the top is from A Passion for Art, 

the sentiment is from All Occasion Art.  The hearts are die cut from Thinlit Shape Strips and I embossed them with WV Geranium Red Embossing Powder.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
