Hello! I created this card for the Stockings Were Hung challenge at Classy Cards 'n Such. Come and join in this week for a chance to earn a great prize!
I first cut the Poppystamps Grand Madison Fireplace out of heavy white card stock. I tried to age the mantel by adding Pumice Stone and Antique Linen distress ink over the embossed areas with my finger. The result looked a little too shabby, so I painted over the mantel with Picket Fence Distress Stain to even out the tones. It added a painted look to the mantel which was an added bonus.
I cut the Stocking Garland with red card stock and then cut the tops a second time using white card stock. I cut the white tops twice, stacked them to add dimension, and then painted them with a Viva Decor Cream Pen to add a little shimmer and texture.
The Pine Garland was colored with green distress ink. The red pattered paper is from Bo Bunny and was layered onto a piece of Kraft paper.
I added a small piece of dark brown card stock behind the fire and a narrow strip of green at the bottom for the hearth. The Poppystamps Fireplace Logs and Poppystamps Warm and Cozy Fire were also colored with distress ink. The detail on the logs is amazing. I can't wait to use it for a camping themed name frame for my son.
I cut the Poppystamps Frozen Flakes border out of Kraft paper too. I almost always cut snowflakes in white but white snowflakes seemed to add too much contrast.
