Merry Christmas
Hello there my crafty friends! I started with a piece of white gloss card for today's offering. I used Red Pepper, Flamingo, Pool, Cobalt and Glacier alcohol inks. I allowed it to dry thoroughly before adding the frames made from the Slimline Cut Corner Rectangles, making a multi-layered frame. Using the Poinsettia Trio, I added two poinsettias cut out of white card, and glittered them with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz then added some leaves as accents. I cut the Noble Merry Christmas sentiment out of black gloss card and glued it inside the frame. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 5 1/4" x 9 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Hi Sue. My first thought was very modern, colourful and modern, great for the transition from believing to not being quite sure, for the teens in our lives, or for young acquaintances maybe. Sending love to all xxx
Hi Sue. Love this idea for making a more modern Christmas Card and you could always use different colours on the background for a more traditional look.
Love the colours used, makes a really modern card, but any other colour would work as well. In Fact, vengeance the sentiment,flower, and you have another great card.
Hi Sue A vibrant modern Christmas card and one I would like to try but I don’t have gloss card or alcohol inks, wonder if pixie sparkles might give a similar look!
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, wow those colours look amazing behind the 'Happy Birthday', You should make colour paper pads out of these for all us people who struggle to do them.
Fantastic Card, thank you xx
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi Sue, this is quite a powerful card with strong colours not usually associated with Christmas but the framing and poinsettias soften it and make it one that anyone would love to receive.
