The card base is Cherry Cobbler card stock, layered with Whisper White embossed with the Bead and Bauble embossing folder, a great folder for a Christmas card.
A 2 1/2" strip of a plaid pattern from the retired Festive Farmhouse DSP was added horizontally across this embossed layer. To give the card a more festive look, a 1/8" strip of gold foil paper was added above and below the DSP.
In the center is a Whisper White art piece. The cow from "Over the Moon" was stamped near the bottom and coloured with Stampin' Blends. I stamped a gift box (Ready for Christmas) on the ground in front of the cow. At the top is the sentiment (Farmhouse Christmas), stamped using a Basic Black marker. Three ornaments (Ready for Christmas) are suspended below the sentiment. The string from the sentiment to the ornaments was hand drawn.
A Christmas card needs glitter and snow, so I used the snow stamp from Farmhouse Christmas and Balmy Blue ink to stamp snow in the sky. Glitter was added by randomly dabbing a glue pen and sprinkling Dazzling Diamonds over that. Below the cow some snow is made using liquid applique and Dazzling Diamonds. Unfortunately I could not capture the glitter with my camera.
The image panel is matted with Cherry Cobbler card stock and mounted to the card front using dimensionals.
