Merry Christmas Basket Card

Hi all,

Today’s card features a basket full of Christmas joy.

The papers are older ones from my stash.  That focal image however is the real star of this card.  I used a couple of stamps from Gina K. Design’s to create the basket.  I combined Holiday Basket and Basket Additions stamp sets.  These are great sets to create baskets full of goodies for all occasions.

Here’s a closer look at the basket.  I used copics to color in the images.  On Santa’s hat and the cuffs on his coat I used some white Liquid Pearls for a bit more shine and dimension. I also added some glitter to some parts of the image using Sakura clear star pen, an easy way to add glitter without all the mess.

For the sentiment I wanted a big bold sentiment right across the top of the card over the basket.  The sentiments on the Gina K. Designs stamp sets are great, but were a bit smaller than what I wanted.  So I turned to Lawn Fawn’s Bows and Holly set for the sentiment.  Finally I added some ribbon across the card for some additional texture.

I hope you enjoyed today’s project.  Thanks so much for stopping by!
