I have two cards to share today that I was inspired to make from the Featured Stamper challenge over at Splitcoaststampers. HelenG was the featured stamper and I CASED her card here.
Hers was a congrats card - I made mine Christmas - but used the same fun Center Step Fold for the card design.
The carolers are cut from the Victorian Carolers Die, which I have, but I received these two already cut in an order from The Funkie Junkie Boutique - Linda always includes seasonal treats in every order you get from her! The music page was also in my packet - I think it's from Idea-ology Christmas Ephemera.
Here's the fiddler.
and here's the female caroler - so vintage looking and perfect for a Christmas card!
I splattered some white acrylic paint over the front to simulate snow - It's so difficult to splatter evenly - I should have practiced a bit before doing it on the card - a few of my splatters are pretty big!?!
I'm linking my cards to:

Accessories: foam dots, white acryic paint, brush, Victorian Carolers Die -Tim Holtz/Alterations, music sheet/Christmas Ephemera Pack - Idea-ology

Hi Julia. These are fabulous! I love the layout of these, with those additional panels, very unique! The music sheets are definitely a great addition, and your papers are so festive! What a fantastic holiday card set!! I'm still working on reconnecting with everyone after my time away this last year. Hope all has been well with you. hugs :)
ReplyDeleteLove your vintage carolers step cards, Julia. I know what you mean about the splatters. I have learned to dilute my paint quite a bit and do my 1st splatter on a scrap paper. I also seem to do better with a flat paint brush. I still love your cards. TFS my friend. Hugs
ReplyDeleteGreat old-fashioned look to these. Love the silhouette figures against the music and vintage-style dp.
ReplyDeleteLove the sheet music and the carolers, Julia! They are perfect for the step card!
ReplyDeleteI always love the look of stepper cards and these are wonderful Julia - you can't go wrong with Carollers and Christmas music sheets - your cards are beautiful! Hugs, Anne xx
