Hello friends! It’s been awhile since I posted anything to the blog, my Mom is visiting us and we’ve been spending a lot of time together leaving the blog a bit neglected. I should get back to regular posting soon! Today I have a card and video tutorial to share created for the WPlus9 blog and Youtube channel.
I love to stamp my own backgrounds using my stamps and with the Holiday Season being not too far away I pulled out my Hellebore Builder set and a few other all-time favorites from WPlus9.

CARD DETAILS
I didn’t do any kind of masking as I was working on my background. I did my stamping in clusters – stamped one flower and added leaves, branches and berries around it. Next, stamped another flower and repeated the steps.
Whenever I stamp backgrounds using my layering images I prefer to stamp base layers first (I call this “sketching out” my background) and once I have all of the base layers stamped then I add in the detailed second and third layer images. I feel my stamping process goes a lot faster this way and there’s less room for error, too.
I stamped my background onto a 4 ¼ x 5 ½” panel and once my stamping was done I adhered the panel onto an A2 side folding card base. To create a sentiment I heat embossed a beautiful message from the Iconic Christmas stamp set in gold embossing powder onto a piece of white cardstock, trimmed it into a banner and foam mounted onto my card. I added a bit of red and white bakers twine and called this card done!

This is sooo festive! Very pretty card!!
Another beautiful background!! Enjoy the rest of your visit with your mom. I was at a stamp show in Phoenix this past weekend and watched a woman demonstrate using dye inks to “watercolor”! Seems that idea is catching on?!! Anyway, thanks for sharing — as always.
Awesome card, as usual ! Thanks for sharing.
Another beautiful background Yana. These are such lovely stamps and they really do make for a gorgeous background. Well done my dear!
Beautiful card! Love the banner panel you put the sentiment on!
Delightfully festive card, Yana. Simply gorgeous!
