Hi everyone. Time for a new challenge - CAS Christmas August Challenge, which is hosted by the lovely Cathy (Cathy's Card Spot).
To add even more sparkle, I used some glitter paste (Silver Chrome - Cosmic Shimmer). I love this pale silver that looks so pretty through the Speckles stencil (Kaisercraft - retired). To finish, I stamped a small sentiment in black ink (Merriest - Avery Elle - retired) and added a silver hanger. Black sponge ornament was added to the back of my alcohol ink ornament to pop it up from the card base. I like how the black just shows a little around the edges.

Such a beautiful card Loll. That colour combination is beautiful and especially good for Christmas I think. The silver paste stencilling is very effective too. Vicky x
ReplyDeleteHow pretty this is! I have those ornaments and as much as I used them never thought to use my alcohol backgrounds! Thanks for the idea! I love the addition of the silver flecks to finish this off.. This looks SO fun to do and I can’t wait to try it!f
ReplyDeleteWow, the AI inks, the glitter paste... what a combo! A beautiful Christmas card, Loll!
ReplyDeleteThis is another of your big projects, Loll. I love the deep AI colors that contrast so beautifully with the glitter bauble. The addition of a procreation through the template completes the card wonderfully
