29 April 2022 MTTCC #33 Fireplace and or Stockings Theme for Christmas card

Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog! My heart gets excited when I can craft! I get extra excited when it comes to Christmas and Easter cards. For the #33 MTTCC fireplace and/or stockings theme I found a free printable coloring page image that I left as full size. It will be hand-delivered. And for Card #1 I did a fast fireplace sketch then saved it on my printer as a jpeg file so I could print is to 1/6 of a full sheet size on white cardstock.

Fireplace Sketch card=

A design and vendor note for Card #1: the wreath and stocking are decorative rub-on transfers from "A Very Merry Christmas" by Steven Duncan for Carta Bella 2017. 

 

Merry Christmas Fireplace Garland card=

Some design and vendor notes for card #2: the banner sentiment and garland are decorative rub-on transfers from "'Twas The Night Before Christmas" by Echo Park Paper Co. 2017 and the small mistletoe print cardstock is from ______________. This time the fast sketch fireplace image was printed on kraft paper. More kraft paper was used for the left-side folded card base.

Design notes:

1. Black cardstock base; background has red mottled CS on diagonal with neon green CS; the first/top background is a lattice print from The Mind's Eye (an old scrapbook collection).

2. image and cardstocks edges were smudged with black ink to give it a smoky, ashy look

3. the image 'wall' was colored with light peach so that it wouldn't be bright white and would go with the fireplace and mantle

4. dark pine green metallic dazzle sentiment (Paper Wishes website)
