Santa's Wish

I've combined T!m's Santa's Wish stamps with USArtQuest products for this card.

I used distress inks for the stamping, the largest labels 8 nestie for the main panel and the Christmas Wishes stamp from AOD 33 Holly Sprays.

The background on the base card is made using the Vintage set of USArtQuest watercolour micas.

I used several strips of great tape down the border and a little way across the bottom of the card.  I ruched the glue strips to created a faux lace effect.  I then sprinkled on mother of pearl and copper mica flakes.  The copper mica flakes have a verdi gris mix/effect which is yummy!

Oh, I just love all those bits of shimmery magic!!

I hope you have a good day.

Just another note!

A similiar card to the one in my previous post but this time the background is made with the scrunch technique and Autumn Leaves Starburst Stain set. The centre panel has been sprayed with Moonshadow Mist. The words and image have both been stamped with timber brown Stazon and mounted onto gold mirri card, (which you cannot really see).

PS:

I just found these extra photos of this card that I should have added before so you can see a little more detail!

Just a note with Classical Instruments!

Here is another card made from Tracey's Classical Instrument stamp sheet. It was stamped with brown Stazon and painted with a green Moonshadow ink. I did a bit of manic stamping for the border with the same stamp by repeatedly stamping, sometimes without re-inking to give it a bit of depth. I then ran it through the Cuttlebug with the swirl folder to add some texture.

Jill Boulton had a workshop here yesterday metal embossing, I joined in and played too which was great, we tried lots of techniques, the elements we made need making into something so I'll show what we made another time.

I hope you are enjoying your weekend!
