Bonjour !
Izzy here with a Stencil Sunday for my Uniko Brand Ambassador inspiration. As my dear teamy Steph was mentioning it in her last Brand Ambassador Inspiration post, Christmas isn't all that far and I then realised that I don't have a lot of Christmas cards in my stash !
If my mojo is very low at the moment, Steph, with her gorgeous Christmas cards made me want to play with my Uniko stencils. So I took off my stash my favourite Uniko's stencil when it's about Christmas and I made this first card.
I love the In the Forest stencil, since it has been released, I have used it every year for my greeting cards. Here I used it directly on the double white card and I brushed two shades of green and a bit of black. The result was nice but I wanted even more firs. So I turned the stencil and I brushed another layer of the same inks.
On a piece of white card stock I stamped Santa from the Jolly Christmas set, I coloured it with coloured pencils and I fussy cut it. I die cut a square of Vellum paper on which I stamped and I black heat embossed the sentiment coming from the Background Builders Christmas 2018.
To finish my card I foam mounted Santa on the Vellum. I turn the Vellum and I put squares of foam tapes behind before adhering it on the card base.
As I loved how we can see through the lovely design made with the stencilling, I kept this design for my two other cards.
For this second card, I used the Winter Foliage stencil that Bev recently used for her beautiful card (see HERE). With a small brush, I applied the different colours.
On the Vellum, I stamped and I gold heat embossed the sentiment coming from the Christmas Wishes set. I stamped the foliage from the Winter Foliage set and I die cut each piece with the matching dies.
I assembled the card in the same way as the previous one.
For this last card I brushed non-traditional colours through the Let is Snow stencil to make my background.
After looking for what I could put on the Vellum, I tried these little trees from the Background Blocks Scandinavian Christmas set.
I coloured them with Promakers, I fussy cut them and I foam mounted them on the square of Vellum on which I previously stamped and black heat embossed the sentiment from the Christmas Sentiments set.
To finish my card and to make these little trees even brighter I put some Stickles on them.
Well, that's all the Jolly, Bright and Merry I have to share with you today. Have a lovely Sunday and thank you so much for stopping by.
izzy these are three delightful cards, and I love how you have made the backgrounds with those fun stencils - your trees in particular are amazing, and I love the images mounted on the vellum. A wonderful trio.

ReplyDeleteI love Christmas but I’m just not ready for it this year! These cards thought are gorgeous and making me feel a little more festive. Using those little trees is genius and what a great way to stretch the stash. X
