This week at Jingle Belles our theme is Flat Fleiz Navidad - it is generally called the One Layer Card; though some folks refer to it as the No Layer Card.
What does that mean? It means your entire design is flat... your elements get stamped, drawn, embossed, etc, directly onto the card base; so basically you're not taping or gluing ANY additional papers/diecuts/layers to that base. We're looking (as the title implies) for completely FLAT cards this time. Are you up for the challenge?
I started by using a torn piece of typing paper as an inking mask creating three shades of Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Ink (start at the bottom and then keeping inking over the whole space to keep the bottom darker than the top).
Next I stamped two Memory Box Sentiments from Memory Box Christmas Tiles and Memory Box Dashing with Reindeer,
Next I added Memory Box Holiday Greenery Stamp. I used alcohol markers to color the greenery, turning part of the leaves into a poinsettia. I added a few extra berries & a leaf to finish. I colored out of the lines a bit, so I just embraced that coloring style ... sort of like the fill stamps that are meant to be a bit off from the base image.
I'm also linking-up at the March Memory Box Petal Power Challenge.
