Rudolph Days Merriest Wishes

Finally getting into the mood to make Christmas Cards now that I have a stack of Alcohol Inks on Acetate Backgrounds. You will be seeing more of these backgrounds in the near future :-)  I need many more Christmas Cards.   I spent several hours yesterday playing with this technique with my twin,  Margie and childhood girlfriend, Sue.  We all finished the day with a stack of beauties :-)

My card is for the July Rudolph Days Challenge.  All the challenges are from the 25th of each month to the last day of each month.

Always Christmas Anything Goes !


I chose a 4" x 4" green Alcohol Ink Acetate Background with white tissue paper glued to back from my stash.  .  Then taped my ARTplorations "Holly Background" stencil over the Acetate with painters tape.  Used my palette knife to spread embossing paste thru the stencil.  Let dry completely.

Later in the day I die cut the center and popped up with fun foam.  Added a popped up stamped sentiment and glued the card front to a 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" card base.  Such a quick and easy card for the holidays.  Enjoy.


Supplies:
Stamps: SU Merriest Wishes (ret)
Paper: SU Thick Whisper White.  White Tissue Paper
Ink: Tim Holtz  Alcohol Inks.  Archival Black ink
Accessories: Acetate Sheet. Golden's Embossing Paste, Palette knife, fun foam, Alcohol Inks Acetate Background from my stash, SU Square die cuts.
