Festive Fridays | Merry Christmas to You & Yours

Morning all!

I’m back with my next festive make of the year, this time focusing on a favourite festive foliage set from The Greetery:

Stamps, stencils, and dies: The Greetery – Banner & Bough

Christmas card inspiration featuring The Greetery Banner and Bough

The Banner & Bough set combines layering stencils with detail stamps, plus a mask stencil for the full image. There are then coordinating dies available that cut out the full bouquet and some of the individual elements.

For today’s card, I simply stencilled all the layers, added the stamped details, and repeated the same on the detail dies.

I cut out the bouquet with the outline die and then popped it up on an Oxide blended background that I splattered with white, pearlescent white, and copper water colour after a few spritzes of water.

There had to be a sparkly finishing touch to those pink flowers, and once again I used my fave little accents – the Champagne Glitter Drops from Pinkfresh Studio.

Until next time, happy crafting!
