Hello, it's Nancy Damiano here kicking off Day Two and these cards are sure to bring a smile to someone you love! Let's send some caroling Christmas cheer with an adorable stamp from Avery Elle!
The background of this card was made using a stencil and some light modeling paste. While it looks complicated, it's not and it adds just the right amount of pop to a card backdrop.
The musical notes add a touch of theme and movement to this whimsical design. It's those small touches that complete a design.
In this version of the card, the color are brightened and a sentiment is added. The design principle is the same, but the look is very different.
Some of the stamped images are raised with pop dots. This gives a nice dimensional effect without much effort.
Let's take a look at the process in the video:
