Like I mentioned this post is part of a blog hop to share ideas for the Holly Jolly release! I'll have links to the other stops on the hop lower down in the post AND there's GIVEAWAY info as well at the end!
OK on to my card and video:
This is a 5x7" card.
Yes - I made a 5x7 card. I can't even remember when I made a card this size last. It's not a size I tend towards however I had so many things I wanted to put on this card and didn't want to crowd them onto a standard A2 card so I went bigger!
I just LOVE the new Rest Queen stamp set that was designed in collaboration with @clevergirlcraftings (on Instagram) aka Lydia with Simon Says Stamp. I stamped some of the images from the set onto Neenah Classic Crest Solar White card stock with Simon's Intense Black ink and coloured them in with Copic markers.
I used the new Lumen Embossing Folder (SO excited about those too - Simon released several of them in the Holly Jolly release!) on more Neenah card stock. Of course I had a hard time getting a decent picture of the texture - it's fabulous. Plus I thought it really looks like a blanket texture when paired with the images from the Rest Queen set.
I also paired all that with the new Scattered Stars stencil - which I used with Pineapple Delight Nuvo Glacier Paste - so there's a foiled look to the stars.
On the inside of the card I stamped the large sentiment from the Rest Queen set with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink and then added a white heat embossed sentiment from the set and that was it!
To see how this card came together check out my video below:
