Funky Fossil Designs "Pine Cones" Christmas Card



Here's a card I made this evening using a selection of Funky Fossil Designs goodies. 


We're back home after a couple of days away at the caravan, really just checking it out after the awful wind and rain of earlier this week.  Fortunately all was well! 

I received a package while I was away of a rolling drawer unit I'd ordered from Hobbycraft.  I've organised my inks into it, as the selection I used seems to be growing rapidly. I had been using a three tier trolley, but it just wasn't working for me any longer.


Anyway, back to how I made this card I started off with a square piece of white card.  I used the Funky Fossil "Pine Cones" stencil with two shades of Archival Inks "Fern Green" and "Potting Soil". Using a paint brush, I added colour between the cones using "Tea Dye" Distress Oxide Ink.

In the background, I used "Antique Linen" Distress Oxide Ink with a blending brush to lightly cover the card, using "Tea Dye" Distress Oxide Ink closer to the edges.

Using "Morning Mist" Versafine Clair grey ink I stamped the Funky Fossil A7 Vintage Script in second generation stamping.

I splattered white paint by tapping a Posca Pen over the surface and left to dry for a couple of minutes.

Finally, I stamped a sentiment from the Funky Fossil "Christmas Small Print" stamp set using Versafine Clair "Chianti" dark red ink. I inked the edges of the card using the same coloured ink using a finger dabber.

Funky Fossil "Pine Cone Stencil" tag



My crafting mojo has been AWOL of late, but I have been reading quite a lot, which has been lovely as this year I've hardly read at all, which is very unusual for me.

I made this Christmas gift tag, using thee coloured of Distress Oxide Inks for the background colour (Wild Honey, Tea Dye and Peeled Paint).

I used the Funky Fossil Designs "Pine Cone Stencil" with various shades of Distress Oxide Inks.

I heat embossed the sentiment, (Part of the Funky Fossil Christmas Small Print Stamp Set) using a Wow! Clear Embossing Pad and Wow! Rich Gold Embossing Powder, heat set and then die cut into a banner.

Finally, I inked the edges in black ink and then added touches of gold, using a metallic gold Gelly Roll Pen.
