Hi Crafty Friends!
Sylvie @kaliscards here with a Mistletoe card. I love Mistletoe so I couldn’t help reinterpret this amazing Whimsy blooms bouquet!
I love when a good die set can be used in different ways and show good versatility. This is so true for the Whimsy blooms bouquet die set which you can use to create gorgeous bouquets or in my case, create some mistletoe. For the berries, I used last year die set Joyful poinsettia.
To create this card, I die cut the Whimsy blooms bouquet die set from different cardstocks: the bow from red metallic cardstock and the greenery from two different shades of green cardstock. I also cut the background panel from the same darker shade of green cardstock.
On the background panel, I blended Rustic wilderness, Forest moss and Black soot from the center to the edge. On the light greenery, I blended Rustic wilderness. On the darker grenery, Forest moss and Black soot and then some Mica stain tree lot.
I then splattered Mica stain tree lot and White copic paint diluted with a few drops of water, on the background and greenery.
I die cut the berries from white carstock, using the 2 bigger sizes available in the Joyful poinsettia die set. I colored the berries with Copic markers E81, E84 and E40.
I stamped the cute mice couple from the Sweet friend stamp set on white cardstock, as well as two Christmas hats from the Falala friends. I colored the images with Copic markers and used the Sweet friend and Falala friends coordinating dies to cut them out.
Once the background panel was completely dry, I stamped the sentiment from the Merry Christmice stamp set with Versamark and heat set it with white embossing powder. I adhered the background panel onto the cardbase.
I then trimmed the top of the larger greenery and shaped the leaves to give it a little dimension. I glued the branch onto the background panel, adding liquid adhesive on the stem and start of the leaves only. I then glued the two darker branches on top of it and finished with a lighter branch. I then glued the three berries between two leaves. To finish the mistletoe, I adhered the red bow with liquid adhesive.
Next I glued the Christmas hats on the mice heads and adhered the mice with foam tape, between the mistletoe and sentiment.
Thanks so much for reading through this post.
Hope this card inspires you.
Take care
Sylvie
