Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for
This month, we would love to see your cards with the theme of
Anything Christmas
With no idea on such a broad spectrum to choose from, I decided to use a stamp and colour I saw in my subscription magazine. Not a colour I would normally use for Christmas, but I quite like the effect.
With inspiration from Sarah Phelan in the magazine, I stamped the tree and embossed in gold, then blended seedless preserve distress oxide onto the card. I rubbed over the gold, but it didn't come up as bright as I wanted, so I stamped and embossed again.
I then stamped and gold embossed the star corner and the stars on the right. The layer was attached to the mirror card. Next I blended a piece of white card, stamped and gold embossed the sentiment and die cut it. I decided not to layer onto gold.
