Hi everyone. This is the last Twofer Challenge for the year (#33). I have had fun playing along all year with Darnell's card challenge. It really makes me think outside the box! :)
For today's cards it's all about the shine. I made two cards using the same star stencil (Shooting Star - Funky Fossil). It's also an extra challenge to photograph metallic embossing, so they look a little blurry, especially the first card (below).
Close-up ...
I started by using four colours of distress inks direct-to-paper, adding colour randomly. Spritzed with water and tilted to let the colours blend and move. Dried and repeated to get deeper colours. Once dry, I used silver glitter paste through the stars stencil. I finished by stamping the sentiment (Thoughtful Greetings - Pretty Pink Posh) in silver ink and heat embossing with iridescent powder.
For the next card, I used a background from my stash of blended purple and blue inks. I used the same stencil as above to create a canopy of stars over my deer and tries die-cut (die from AliExpress). The stars are inked with silver ink and heat embossed in iridescent powder. The sparkle of the iridescent glitter really show on this card. Added a sentiment (Christmas Messages - Hero Arts) in silver ink to finish.
I hope you'll come join us for the last Twofer Challenge for 2020. So much fun! Hope to see you in the gallery!
