So, here's a look into the finished card set...
STEP 1
I started out by preparing for my card bases and die cut card panels for stamping the plaid patterns. I made a set of 5. Then I decided on to the stamps and inks that I will use for this.
STEP 2
Next I stamped the plaid pattern using the traditional colors of Christmas. How I decided on the pattern, no particular method. It was totally spontaneous.
STEP 3
Next I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas Bell Medley set on each of the panel and adhered a die cut deer. Finally I stuck all these panels on the card bases.
That finishes my spotlight feature :) I hope you enjoyed it and will give this a try. Happy paper crafting!
