Season's Greetings From Our Home to Yours - Lovely Layers: Bow & Bough

Handmade Christmas card with a red bow, green leaves, and 'Season's Greetings' text.

Hello, friends!! Brenda back with you today!! I hope your week is off to a great start!! I'm sharing a Christmas card featuring the Lovely Layers: Bow & Bough Honey Cut Set today!!

Season's Greetings card with a big red bow and dark green leaves on a plaid background, a Honey Bee Stamps project.

I began by die-cutting the Lovely Layers: Bow & Bough Dies from red and green cardstock. I added a bit of shading with dye inks and Beeluxe Detail Blending Brushes, then splattered the die-cuts with diluted white bleed-proof ink and a paint brush. Once the ink was dry, the bow was adhered together with a combination of Bee Creative Glue and foam squares.

For the background, I die-cut the largest die in the Layering Vintage Labels Die Set from white cardstock. I added Speckled Egg Distress Ink to the center with a blending brush, then I splattered it with the same color of diluted ink. I also splattered it with diluted white bleed-proof ink. It was adhered to an A2 panel of plaid paper from the Holiday Wishes Paper Pad (which is no longer available, but any plaid patterned paper would look great). The bow and boughs were adhered with Bee Creative Glue.

The sentiment is from the Warm Holiday Wishes Stamp Set. It was stamped onto white cardstock with red dye ink and cut out with the Coordinating Dies. I also die-cut three more layers from heavyweight white cardstock and adhered it behind the stamped ones before adhering it to the front of the card with Bee Creative Glue. I added some "berries" from the Merry Moments Pearl Sticker Pack to the boughs to finish off the card.
