A couple of challenges gave me inspiration for this early Christmas card. I chose two embosing folders (but ended up using just the one with radiant stripes). The stripes are kept on the left half of paper, I found my inspiration for the layout in a challenge.
I used Distress Oxides in two colors and added shine with Simon Hurley's Lunar Paste in gold ("Slippery when wet" is the name of the hue) and heat embossed the text with WOW golden shimmer embossing powder.
I am entering this into the challneges that I combined to achieve this look:
TioT: Use three colors
Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Shimmer ans shine
Can You Handle the Pressure: AG with a twist of stars
Everybody Art Challenge: #540 Sketch - I turned it 90 degrees. 
Double Trouble: #143 Christmas in July - I am entering with Thing 1, and 2.

ReplyDeleteGreat idea to create a very special Christmas card. And a great execution of the scetch as well. I love your colour composition of gold and turquoise and your gold really is so shiny. Those sweet little stars complete the card in a very pretty way.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing your card with the latest Everybody-Art-Challenge.
