This card was inspired by Tuesday Morning Sketch #428 and Lawn Fawnatics #16 (Use your oldest stamp set). I have not been buying Lawn Fawn stamps for a long time, so I looked at my images and tried to figure out which set images might be the oldest. In terms of the first stamp set I bought, I believe it might be the one with the stove but it was a new release at the time, so I figured Flirty Frames might be an older set issued by Lawn Fawn, so I decided to go with that. When looking at something to stamp inside the frame, I decided to pull out Pumpkin Spice, and turn it into hot cocoa for a fun Christmas card. I paired those images with the Oh What Fun papers, which I think are totally adorable. The cardstock sticker sheet had some fun wording on it, and I spotted "Eat, drink and be merry!," a perfect option to pair with the drink image.
I used Frosty Sparkle Kiss to "frost" the sides of my papers for a bit of shimmer. I cut out of border for the top with the Chevron Stripes dies, and added little beads of Bottle Green Crystal Drops from Nuvo on each side. I'm finally getting confident enough to use the bottle directly on my project. So far, I've mostly been making beads on a piece of acetate and transferring them to my projects afterwards using a bit of glue to put them in place. I did notice that the result is not the same when the bead is done directly on the project and when it dries on a piece of acetate first. It changes the shape. That being said, you have to be really sure you like the color and you know where you want to add the detailing if you're going in directly on your finished project. Here I was following the shape of the chevron, so I went for it.
The first frame I made and die-cut, I decided to colour with my Clear Wink of Stella brush but it dripped on the outside of the frame and it made the dye ink I had used the stamp the frame bleed. I didn't want this mistake showing on my card, so I stamped and die-cut a second frame to use. I did decide to use the spare frame to add my signature to the back of the card, though, since I didn't mind the bleeding there as much.
