Christmas Rhino - Stampin' Up! Festive & Fun

   I had my monthly stamping class yesterday and one of the cards we made was this adorable rhino Christmas card.  The image is just so cute with the big rhino and little birds on the sled.  I designed it in a nice color palette and brought in a little pop of color with the Joy of Christmas DSP in the center of the card.

  The base is Soft Sea Foam and then a layer of vellum is next.  The vellum is embossed with the Snowflake Sky embossing folder.  Next is a strip of Textured Shimmer paper in Shaded Spruce and then a piece of the Joy of Christmas DSP.  We also added in another narrow strip of this DSP on the inside of the card.

  The image is stamped in Basic Gray and then colored with Stampin' Blends.  After coloring, the image is cut out with one of the Deckled Rectangle dies and then popped on dimensionals. 

  The sentiment from Brightest Glow is stamped in Cherry Cobbler and then punched out.  The embellishment for this card are 2 rhinestones that were colored with the dark Shaded Spruce blends marker for a custom look.

  A quick tip for working with vellum layers; add all of your elements to the top of the vellum piece before attaching the vellum panel to your card front.  Use the spots behind the other elements to add your adhesive so that it's all hidden and won't show through to the front.

  All of the items used to make this card can be purchased in my ONLINE STORE.

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
