Good morning my crafty friends!…
Welcome back to the third day of my Christmas Card series…
‘On the third day of Christmas my trulove sent to me…three French Hens…(still singing!… 🙂 )
#3…three french hens…
oooh la la! That wine sure looks good right now…
As with the other cards, I have printed the sentiment and the two small hens on to Neenah solar white card and cut out using a rectangle stitched die. The sentiment has been traced with a Versamark pen and then heat embossed in clear embossing powder for the words and gold embossing powder for the number. I then masked the birds and used a combination of Spun Sugar and Salty Ocean distress inks to blend the cloudy sky. This combination was actually only meant to be Spun Sugar but because I had already used Salty Ocean with my cloud stencil it came out pinky purple!… a happy accident me thinks…;)
I coloured the images with Copic markers and popped the larger hen and Eifel tower on to foam tape to add dimension. I finally added a bit of sparkle and glossy accents to finish the card. The snowy spots are Liquid Pearls in opaque white, which I have used on every card to tie the theme together.
This French hen is having a cheeky little red! What is you favourite wine? Red? White? Personally I’m a Rose kind of girl…
The whole series features the Bugaboo digital stamp set ‘The 12 days of Christmas’
Hope to see you on Thursday with card #4…
Happy crafting and see you soon xxx
