Altenew | Easy Bold Mistletoe Wreath Holiday Card

Hello friends!

Recently I’m mostly MIA here on my blog (and my other social media resources). By “recently” I mean since February, when my homeland was invaded by you know whom. I’m blessed to be living in the USA where the war is not affecting me physically. But it does affect me mentally a lot. My parents and sister live in Ukraine and needless to say that I’m a wreck worrying about them.

Here initially was a short overview of where my thoughts and worries are all these months, but I deleted it. Maybe one day I have a separate post for that topic, but now I want to concentrate on one of the few fun things I have left in my life – making cards. Especially holiday ones. 

I have quite a bit of cards that I made but never blogged about. Trying to get back to the routine of doing this.

Today I want to share a bold Mistletoe Wreath Holiday Card featuring several fun Altenew products. Gray is magical color that compliments any other color and makes it pop. I used it as the main color theme for my card and really like how it turned out.

MISTLETOE WREATH HOLIDAY CARD

I started making the card by creating a 3D plaid background. To do so I embossed a Dark Gray Cardstock panel using the Basic Plaid 3D Embossing Folder.

To add more drama to the embossed background I blended the Pure Graphite Dye Ink around the panel edges. After that, I sprinkled it slightly with water to bring a bit more texture.

I used the Mistletoe Wreath Bundle to create the main element of the card – a mistletoe wreath. The wreath was stamped onto a Solar White Cardstock using the Mistletoe Wreath Stamp Set with Jet Black Dye Ink.

After that, I colored it using the Mistletoe Wreath Simple Coloring Stencil Set.  I used the Coral Berry, Ruby Red, Forest Glades, Evergreen, and Dark Chocolate Dye Inks for coloring as well as the Mini Blending Brush Set.

Next, the mistletoe wreath was die-cut using the matching Mistletoe Wreath Die Set.

Additionally, I colored the white areas around the wreath and in between its elements with a black brush pen from the Fine Liner Pen Set.

To make the sentiment banner I used the stamps and die from the same Mistletoe Wreath Bundle, which I embossed using a red embossing powder onto a Dark Gray Cardstock and die-cut after that.

To assemble the card I popped up the mistletoe wreath onto the background, followed by popping up the sentiment banner on top. The background panel was adhered onto a card base of the same cardstock.

Several red sequins finished off the card.

I hope you like my card and find it inspiring. Have a wonderful day!
