I am playing along with the CAS Christmas Card Challenge: Stocking.
Hosted by the very talented Trina (Phamtastic Design) and this months
wonderful Guest Designer, Helen (Helen's Craft Haven).
You still have until the 24th to play along:-)
My Christmas Stocking Card.
I found this beautiful Alcohol Ink on Acrylic background in my stash. I used Ranger
reds and pinks Alcohol Inks. I also added scrunched white tissue paper to the back
to bring out the colors.
Here is a link to one of my favorite cards using this technique with the Deets.
I die cut the Memory Box Large Circle Burst Die and
attached the background to SU card front with scotch tape.
I was happy to finally use my Faux Enamel stocking that was in my stash.
I die cut the stocking with CUTplorations Warm Hands Warm Hearts Die
out of Stathmore 350# Mixed Media paper and used an electric grill to melt layers
of SU Vintage Verdigris EB Powder (ret) and then added Ranger Gold
EB Powder and melted. So much glittery sparkle in the stocking:-)
Popped up the stocking with foam tape, stamped Penny Black Holiday Snippets
sentiment and popped up with foam tape and Done!
Thank you Trina for a fun Stocking Challenge. Hugs..

ReplyDeleteYour AI and tissue paper background IS merry and bright, Nancy! Love the colors and the visual texture. The circle burst window die enhances the merry & bright feeling.
