| Harvey takes centre stage on tartan patterned paper in this mixed media Christmas card, with glitter texture paste adding sparkle and Festive Gatherings foliage tucked under his arm. A layered bow from The Greetery’s Fit to Be Tied dies, machine stitching, and warm gold cardstock bring the whole design together |
For this card, Harvey is standing on tartan patterned paper, which instantly adds a cosy, traditional Christmas feel. To introduce some texture and sparkle, I used glitter texture paste through the Tim Holtz Mini Layering Stencil Set 54, creating a subtle but eye-catching background detail. I tucked berries and twigs from the Tim Holtz Festive Gatherings die set under Harvey’s arm to give him a festive flourish, then added a bow in the top right-hand corner using Fit to Be Tied dies by The Greetery. A little machine stitching adds extra interest and helps frame the design. To finish it all off, I layered the card with gold cardstock by Spellbinders, which brings warmth and a touch of elegance to the overall look.    For the second card, Harvey is resting on Tim Holtz’s layered stripes, and I love how the red and gold work together to create a rich, festive base. A layered candy cane appears again, along with a light dusting of snow and a beautifully detailed branch from the Festive Gatherings die set by Tim Holtz for Sizzix. Once again, standing Harvey on a sentiment helped to ground the design and bring all the elements together.

With time pressure looming to get my cards posted, and after making 36 Harveys, I’ll admit I was feeling a bit over Harvey at that point. Those cards have now been carefully tucked away in my cupboard, ready to be resurrected… hopefully sooner rather than later. |
