Good Wishes for Christmas with Shari
Hi everyone! It’s Shari here with another card idea using the Holiday Card Kit 2013 inspired by Tim Holtz.
The design of my card allowed me use up some of my scraps and still create a card full of interest. I started off by using inks with an acrylic block to create a watercolor effect, then used the Simon Says Stamp Medium Tag die to get my mini collage started.
I’m in love with this color combination right now… Evergreen Bough with Iced Spruce (both included in the kit), sprinkled with a bit of Silver embossing and some black for contrast. This makes me very happy and when I’m happy, creating is so easy. Do you have a favorite combination?
I had a good time with this one using the black Rub-Ons mixed with silver embossing. It’s full of texture, dimension and SPARKLE! I have put together a video with the process, Enjoy!
I hope I’ve inspired you with another way to use your kit! If you haven’t ordered this kit, you should check them out, there is still time. This kits has so many things to sample and play with. There are two types of kits for you to choose from Clear Stamps or Cling Stamps.
Have a great day!

Thank you for sharing this. It’s so absolutely gorgeous and I must say I’ve been inspired by your color choices and used “not the usual red and green” on many of my cards this year! This color combo will probably end up on a few as well. We are paying attention and appreciate your artistic ability!!!
I love the two colors together. Haven’t tried the rub ons yet. They are fabulous.
Absolutely stunning Shari. Love your colours and layers!
So elegant love the colors used with the silver embossing.
I like spruce with dark red. This is terrific!
Amazing what a great card and I love evergreen bough and iced spruce also in combination with festive berries and peacock feathers. And then that silver embossing makes it so elegant.

Hi Shari. Firstly, love your work. Currently helping a friend design her wedding invites based on your ‘Cherish’ (Two Birds) Hero Arts Card. I have the instructions, but it didn’t list the die cut you used. Was wondering if you are able to let us know which one it is. Thanks!!! :)
