Evergreen Elegance

Happy Monday!

Today I am up on the Crafty Meraki blog sharing this card. 

To make this card, I started with a white top folding card base and a white panel for the background.  To create this background I ink blended some Wilted Violet distress ink, spritzed the panel with water and then ink blended over it again with Wilted Violet, this gave me the dark purple splatters. I also used some pearlescent watercolors for the gold splatter. 

I stamped the Evergreen Elegance on a sheet of vellum with embossing ink, heat embossed it with white powder and then used the coordinating dies to cut them out.  I attached two of the pieces to the background panel using the Precision Glue Press and was able to put a fine line of glue on the back along the embossing and you can't see the glue. 

To finish the card, I added a ornament from the Jingle Jewels EAP.

I couldn't decide on a sentiment so I just left it off, not every card needs  sentiment right?

I sprayed the blue and purple spray from Hero Arts on my glass mat and smooshed the heavystock panel into it. After I achieved the look I wanted I used the Hot Foil Snowflakes and foiled them on the panel.

Beauty of the Season

Hey there, crafty friends!

I am back with another card for the Christmas holidays.  

This little snowman set is one of my favorites from Dare 2B Artzy.

I created a snowy background by masking off the bottom portion of the panel and ink blending and spritzing some White Iridescent Shimmer Mist by Hero Arts over the blended part.

To finish the card I added all the elements and popped up one of the trees using foam squares.
