Happy Tuesday friends, Katie here for another Tuesday treat. I truly do love Christmas, even the stress it can bring feels worth it. I think that makes today’s card very appropriate- Cuckoo for (and by) Christmas!
One thing I love to do is stretch my stamps and using this Cuckoo Clock Stamp and Die of the Month is fun to use for Christmas. I started by stamping the images and coloring them with Copics. I used C5, C3, C1, E15, G09, G07, G03, R37, R35, R14, E00, E02. Then I used a white gel pen for highlights and then cut them out with the dies. Next, i used the Be Merry Paper Pad as the base and for the layers, with the exception of the middle layer. The middle uses the Year Round Dots & Stripes DP. I cut out the layers using the Stitched Arches dies. I added a bit of red sparkly ribbon in between and adhered all elements with my EZ Tear Tape or Foam Tape. I stamped the sentiment from the Gingerbread Kisses Stamp Set and used a banner to cut it out.
I love the way this turned out, in particular the little gnome peaking out from the top. But all of these characters are fun and sweet and I think this turned out very fun in reds and greens.
What do you think? Are you cuckoo for this Christmas clock or do you think it is a bad use of the set? Well I hope you like it and I think you for visiting me today.
