It's the Big Day - Merry Christmas to you! I'm guest designer for the current challenge at TIME OUT, where the theme is Inspired By Words:
Christmas Is Love With All The Trimmings
Here's a little reminder card for you. I brayered some pink acrylic paints onto white mixed media card, then stencilled some dots with translucent pink and white. I added bottle ring marks using a bottle top and white acrylic paint. The folk hearts are punched out from double-sided patterned paper. I scribbled heart shapes with black pen and added highlights with white pen. The tree base is made from strips of black card dotted with white pen, and the tree base is the only stamping on the card. The black dots on the background were made with a zigzag craft scraper thingy, and I outlined some of the hearts with Caran d'Ache crayons.
Hope you can find the time to join in the challenge!
I'll be entering this into Simon Says Work It Wednesday - Love!
