HO HO HO Santa!

Our team had a great time partnering with Emerald Creek!!!   We have had a month full of projects using Emerald Creek products. 

Today I am using the Emerald Creek Holly Stamp to create a background on plain red cardstock!






Supplies:
Emerald Creek Holly Stamp
Altered Pages Santa Collage Image
Acrylic Block
Emerald Creek Embossing Powder Candy Green
VersaMark
Double sided tape
Glue stick
Ribbon
Giant Rhinestones
Cardstock Red and White

 
Cut out Altered Pages Santa Collage Image, apply VersaMark, pour  Emerald Creek Embossing Powder Candy Green over the VersaMark.  Remove excess powder and set with heat tool.
 
 
One of my favorite things about VersaMark is that it is versatile, love using it to leave a stamped mark on plain red cardstock. 

 
To create the red background mat, apply the  VersaMark to the stamp.  Stamp the image off the edge of the cardstock creating a frame around the edge.

 
Adhere ribbon ends to the back of the red mat.  Attach Santa image with  Glue stick, the adhere mat to white card base with  Double sided tape.
 
 
Finish the card with a Giant Rhinestone and ribbon tails!
 
 


 
HO HO HO Merry Christmas!
 
Thanks Emerald Creek for Partnering with us this month!

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
