I was fortunate to be selected as winner over at Double ‘D’ and at Memory Box Challenges. Thanks so much for selecting my card.
Welcome!
Today I have the pleasure of hosting the “All About Holidays” Challenge over at Watercooler Wednesday!
This week I decided to make another Christmas card, but wanted something similar to a decoration.
After sketching a moon shape, I used Distress Inks to make a night sky, then added some splatters of water as well as white paint. I finished with a light spray of glimmer mist.
From there I cut the largest star from MFT Die-namics Star STAX from the middle of the card front. As I wanted a border, I cut a second from another sheet of card, measured around it and cut the slightly bigger frame and finished it with white Wink of Stella, to ensure it stands out.
The scene was made using Memory Box – Evergreen Trio die and a hand cut hill. All had Wink of Stella added.
The gold heat embossed sentiment is from Verve – Glad Tidings.
I was happy with the way it turned out.
Hopefully, you will find time to join in this week’s challenge. Don’t forget to check out the great Design Team cards over on our blog.
Have a great week
Helen
