Good morning everyone,
It's Saturday so it's time for another Allsorts Challenge. Summer holidays are over so we are now back to weekly challenges - Dena has chosen this week's theme and it is
*** Anything Goes with option of School Days ***
This week's fab prize is a Sizzix die.
Here's my card for this week, following the Anything Goes option..
This is my first Christmas card using my new Visible Image Chrimbo stamps - it is more traditional than I have been used to making, but I rather like this style for a change.
First I made a smoosh background with Distress Oxide inks, then stamped my background wording with Versamark and heat embossed with white tinsel EP. I stamped my robin and branch using Pinecone Versafine Clair, then stamped again onto separate card, coloured with Distress Inks and Distress Oxides, fussy cut and attached on top of the background stamping... I also stamped, coloured and fussy cut my holly. I stamped my sentiments direct onto my image panel using Versafine Clair, then matted the finished piece onto dark blue linen cardstock and onto my base card. I finished off with some white Posca pen spatter dots to imitate snow falling.
Stamps: Visible Image - Christmas Robin, Distressed Christmas;
Media: Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks (Salty Ocean, Tumbled Glass, Barn Door, Frayed Burlap, Mowed Lawn, Rustic Wilderness); Distress Ink (Walnut Stain); Versafine Clair (Pinecone, Tulip Red, Nocturne); Versafine (Majesztic Blue); Versamark; white tinsel embossing powder; white Posca pen.
