Altered Chicken Wire Elements Adorn This Handmade Card

I had several things on my wish list when I sat down to create this handmade card with, “Wishing You Well”.

  • To start with, I wanted to use the Chicken Wire Elements.
  • I also wanted to try to get the bow to look like our Glittered Black Organdy Ribbon (see that here).
  • Plus, I wanted a neutral, rustic look for my card.

Altering The Chicken Wire Elements

Initially, I had not planned to alter the elements. However, I wasn’t too excited about the silver look with my neutral color choices. So, as a result, I flipped them over and used black ink and a sponge dauber to alter them and give them a different look.

My idea for the glittered bow was fairly simple: use Wink of Stella! I was very pleased with how it turned out! You can see that in the video below!

Wishing You Well Is A Great Stamp Pairing For Country Home

Posted on by darlaso
Wishing You Well is a great stamp pairing for Country Home!

Great Stamp Pairings For Country Home!

Similar to wine pairings, stamp pairings are a fabulous way to expand your creative options when making handmade cards. If you have ever experienced a wine tasting, you know that pairings can dramatically change the taste. Similarly, stamp pairings can bring together different elements to enhance each other. For example, take a look at the card above: It’s a great stamp pairing of Wishing You Well and Country Home. As a result, it gives the Country Home Set a slightly different look. In addition, it expands your options for using the, Wishing You Well stamp set.

Here are a few stamp pairing basics for you:

  • Look for stamps that compliment what you already have. For example: Different sentiments.
  • Congruent or compatible. For example: A similar style.
  • Stamps that add depth. For example: Background or texture stamps.

These are just a few examples, but you get the idea!

Craft up a Vintage Country Home Christmas Card

If you are a vintage junkie you will love crafting up this Country Home Christmas card! My inspiration for this card came from a couple of  different sources:

  • My Facebook Live viewers requests
  • Window shopping at Hobby Lobby
