Using Deck the Halls I created 10 Stars & Stripes holiday cards for the troops stockings that my friend is putting together.
Finished size is A2; 4-1/4" x 5-1/2"
- I stamped the star ornament in navy ink onto an ivory scrap, circle punched it and adhered it to the ivory panel with dimensional foam. The hanger and wire are stamped in silver ink, the sentiment in red.
- The navy panel was embossed with a Cuttlebug snowflakes folder and trimmed to 4" x 5-1/4" before adhering to the base.
- A strip of striped patterned paper, a spiral punch and corner rounder plus a ribbon bow embellish the image panel. The completed image panel is adhered to the embossed base with dimensional foam.
