The Design A Plaid press plate set was used to create the background. The plates were inked with Fresh Dye Inks Morning Frost and Silver Sage.
The panel and black sheet foam were cut with one of the dies from Notched Corner Frames and stacked.
Postage related stamps from the Christmas Flea Market Finds were stamped with Distress Oxide Ink Hickory Smoke. Using a blending brush, this ink was also used to distress the edges of the panel.
The panel and the two main die cuts for the suitcase were spattered using Splatter White Opaque Watercolor with a fan brush. The smaller die cut was distressed with Distress Oxide Ink Walnut Stain.
The suitcase from today’s crafty surprise was cut from Kraft and dark brown card stock. Gold foil, red brown, and navy blue card stock were used for the accents. The suitcase was easily assembled.
The sign was created with a set called Welcome Home and Sentiments. Faux snow was added with Nuvo Stone Drops Chalk White.
The sentiment from Home for Christmas Sentiments was pressed with black ink on betterpress paper. The coordinating die was used to cut the sentiment and black sheet foam. The sentiment was distressed with Walnut Stain.
To assemble the card, the sign was popped up on foam squares. The suitcase was positioned slightly under the sign, and the foam backed sentiment adhered overlapping the bottom of the suitcase.
The card was embellished with Nuvo Crystal Drops Simply White.
