Hi There! We have a new challenge over on the Bee Crafty Stamps Facebook group where the theme is Sparkle, so I thought I would share a single layer Christmas card with you today. Here is how I made it.I began by heat embossing a Doodle Art Bauble onto an A6 white card blank using some silver sparkle embossing powder.
Next, I stamped the same bauble onto a post it note and cut it out to make a mask.
Placing the mask over the embossed image I place a Dinkable on top and used masking tape to secure it to the card. I then blended Blueprint sketch and Peacock Feathers Distress ink through the dinkable.
After removing the mask, dinkable and tape, I used some metallic watercolour paints to paint the Bauble.
I used a silver pen to add strands of thread for the bauble to dangle from.
Finally I added a sentiment from the mixed messages Christmas set.
Here is the finished card once more....
And here is a close-up of the sparkle.
I used:
Versamark Ink pad
Silver Sparkle embossing powder
Metallic watercolours
Distress inks - I used blueprint sketch and peacock feathers
Post it notes for masking
masking tape
Thanks for looking!
