The Clearing wih an Acetate Wrap.

Good evening,  hope you are ready for  a great weekend whatever you have planned.   Tonight I thought I would share a card I made for Sue & Harvey of Imagination Crafts way back in 2011, gosh!  where have the years gone !!!    I used 'The Clearing stencil stamp range.      I'm not sure if the stamp is still available but the Clearing stencil is.

Colour a 6" piece of cream card around the edges, using the Broken china & Weathered wood distress inks using  a piece of cut'n'dry foam.   Cut a piece of blue card and punch two of the corners only ,one at the top and one on the bottom on the same side, using the Martha Stewart  'Rings' punch.   Fix this to the right hand side of the cream card.

   
Using a black ink pad, stamp the 'Christmas Greetings' on the top left and  two  trees below the greetings.      Stamp another tree on the blue  blue card on the right-hand side of the base card.

Die-cut 2 large labels, one from  deep yellow card and one from blue card.   Fix the yellow label to the blue one, leaving a small blue border showing on the left edge.   Fix this to the 6" square cream base card.

Cut another label, next size down from the large one, using white card.   Colour this  with cut'n'dry foam and the  Pumpkin, Buttercup yellow & Warm skies, Glitzies.      When dry, stamp the tree branches around the edges with  a black ink pad.   Fix this label to the yellow label.   Place the stencil onto some white card and
trace around the stag, using the fine liner black pen.   Remove the stencil.   Draw some wavy lines onto the stag, then fill in each section with a pattern of your choice.   Cut out the stag and colour him with the Glitzies     Fix him onto the now  coloured  smaller label using sticky foam pads
  

          
Cut out some acetate to fit around the card but leaving enough acetate to create a slightly bowed  front.      Stamp two trees on the left side and one on the right hand side of the acetate, using a black Stazon pad.

    
Fix the acetate to the  cream card securing the acetate at the back of the cream card, using double sided sticky tape.    Fix this to the front of the  6" square cream base card, thus hiding the stuck down acetate edges.

     
Die-cut a smaller label, colour it using the same method as the larger one, ie; Glitzies.   Stamp 'Silent Night' onto the label, using a black ink pad.   Punch a hole in the label and in the acetate, then thread the gold cord through the holes so it is fixed to the top of the acetate.

Well that's it for tonight, hope you like it.   Have a wonderful weekend.   Catch you all again very soon.
