Lately, I’m having fun animating objects on Christmas cards (see coffee cup HERE). This time, I gave the lights some personality. 😂
The lights were die cut from Cherry Red, Key Lime and silver foil paper. Added shading to them by ink blending Lumberjack Plaid or Mowed Lawn distress inks (DI) using finger blending brushes. Lightly ink blended the same colours onto a Bristol panel for the glow effect from the lights.
The eyes were die cut from black and white cardstock with the two smallest dies in the oval die set. The white oval negative piece was used as a template todraw the mouths with a black marker. Used the same marker to draw the strings. Stamped the sentiments with Versafine Onyx Black ink then heat embossed with clear glitter embossing powder for a bit of sparkle. Mounted the panel onto a white card base to finish.
