GB House Upright
I attempted to make a card modeled after the shaped cards I've seen many of you create. It was much more labor intensive than what I'm used to creating, and definitely a learning experience.
I wanted to make a gingerbread house, but I don't have any candy stamps, so I had to alter ones I already had. I intended it to be an entry for the Win a Day on the HA Blog contest, but I ended up only being able to use the candy cane image from this year's winter stamps.
The tree, message inside, and the blue "candies" are from the Merriest Wishes stamp set. (The candies are just the round part of the ornament cut in half.)
The candy canes are from the Cozy Moments set. I stamped them in white Staz-On on transparency so that I could have them going both directions.
The holly leaf is from a set of Christmas Tag stamps that I don't know the name of.
The red and green half-circle "candies" are from the Hello Circles set, embossed in white and cut in half.
The gumdrops are also from the Hello Circles set. I stamped the dotted stamp, embossed it in transparent glitter, and then cut a gumdrop shape.
The door is also from the Hello Circles set.
The shutters on the window are from (just a portion of) the Big Candles stamp set.
The smoke is the cloud stamp from the Sky's the Limit set.
The lower portion of the house is stamped with the Raindrop background in Versamark ink.
The white trim is glittered with clear glitter.
The "doorknobs" are also something I've recently learned- Coloring pearls with permanent pens to alter their colors.
The final technique I've recently learned is how to make "windows" using transparency.
