Time for a new challenge at The Mixed Media Card Challenge, and this month it's all about Christmas, with bells on!
Our challenge is being sponsored STAMPlorations
And here's what you could win:
1 winner - $15 gift certificate (randomly drawn from entries with optional element)
1 winner - choice of stamp set from select categories (randomly drawn from all entries).
For my card, I embossed gold card with the small poinsettia EF then brayered layers of green and cream acrylic paint over the raised areas to give it a verdigris finish. I stamped the bells on spare gold card in Versafine Onyx Black, then heat embossed with clear powder. The ribbon was coloured with Tombow marker and detail added with a Uniball Signo white pen. The sentiment was stapled to the gold panel before it was adhered to the main card.
Pop on over to the Mixed Media Card Challenge blog for some fabulous design team inspiration, and join in the fun!
Love how you created that background, Shirley! Beautiful design!
