Hey there! Are you ready to see *lots* of cards using WPlus9's Fair Isle Backgrounds? I have the first two today, but I've been playing with this set all weekend, along with Winter Wishes, to make my holiday cards.
The first thing I wanted to do with this set was to CASE a gorgeous card by Amy Kolling. (Thanks Amy!) I stamped the Fair Isle pattern onto kraft cardstock using Bravo Burgundy, Pear Pizzazz, and white ink. I tied a white twill ribbon around the panel and added a punched tag, which I stamped with one of the medallions and a sentiment from Winter Wishes.
I don't often ink edges on my cards, but I added some soft white sponging around the edges of the kraft panel and tag for a snowy look.
Cardstock: Papertrey Ink (Scarlet Jewel, Kraft)
Stamps: WPlus9 Design Studio (Fair Isle Backgrounds, Winter Wishes)
Ink: Stampin' Up! (Bravo Burgundy, Pear Pizzazz), Clearsnap (Frost White)
Tools: McGill (tag punch)
Accessories: white twill ribbon, jute twine
The second card is a clone of the first, only I swapped out the colors for wintry blues and used Enchanted Evening grosgrain ribbon.
Cardstock: Papertrey Ink (Enchanted Evening, White)
Stamps: WPlus9 Design Studio (Fair Isle Backgrounds, Winter Wishes)
Ink: Stampin' Up! (Not Quite Navy, Baja Breeze)
Tools: McGill (tag punch)
Accessories: Papertrey Ink (ribbon), DMC floss
This set is so much fun to stamp with! I'll be back tomorrow with another set of cards using Fair Isle Backgrounds in these two color schemes. I hope you'll stop by!
Have a great start to your week, friends!
