Christmas in July Handmade Card 2021

 

This is my first Christmas card for the 2021 holiday season. July is almost over so I thought I had better get started on my Christmas cards. 

This card features the PRE-COLORED digital stamp "Ragged Winnie" designed by Maurie J. Manning of Mo's Digital Pencil. I usually color the images myself, but this image is so beautiful that I had to have it. I die-cut the image and red background with a Spellbinders "Fancy Edged Ovals" set.

The background paper and sentiment are from a Tim Holtz Christmas paper pad.

I will enter this card in the following challenge;

Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge #305

Victorian Spoiled Girl Handmade Card

Isn't this young Victorian girl precious? I love the sullen look on her face.  She definitely looks well taken care of!

This is how I made the card:

I started with a blank kraft greeting card that measures 5" by 7".

The background paper is from the Ki Vintage Charm Paper Pad by Hampton Art.

I used the digital image "Spoiled" from Mo's Digital Pencil. I printed the image on white cardstock and colored it with Copic sketch markers. This was my first attempt at coloring a girl with "big hair". 

I distressed the edges of the cardstock with Tattered Rose and Tea Dye Distress Ink. 

I cut a slit in the fold of the card and wrapped a piece of vintage lace around the front of the card. I used glue dots to apply the colored image to the front of the card.

I printed out the sentiment on kraft cardstock and attached it to the lower edge of the card (I'm not spoiled. just well taken care of.)

I finished the card by embellishing it with two gold stars in the upper corner.

I will enter this card in Mo's Challenge #248.
