For this card I used MME 12 days of Christmas "It's the Season" and card stock for the mat and card base. I neglected to see what the color names were of the card stock papers. The most difficult part of this card was the stamped image.This stamp is a Hero Arts I believe. I couldn't find anything on the stamp to identify who made it. I stamped with Memento Black Tuxedo ink. Some of the leaves I colored with my Copic Markers G94 and G99. The rest of the image I painted with Luminarte Twinkling H2O's by Creative Imaginations that I purchased from my LSS Cat's Creations Scrapbooks. The holly leaves I used Olive Vine. The red ribbon I used Poppy. The bells I used Egyptian Gold, Chestnut, Majestic and Kiwi. For the berries I used clear rhinestones from Queen & Co and colored them with my Copic Marker R29. I cut out the image with a circle cutter and matted it with the same green card stock I used for the card base. I popped the image with foam tape and added a bit of ribbon.
Thanks for looking!
Ohhhh, I really like this! I'm so amazed at how you can use the Luminarts to paint your images. You are going to be so far ahead on your Christmas cards! I've been keeping track of all of the ABC Christmas Challenges in hopes of using them for inspiration when I start to work on Christmas cards. :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! I think I need you to teach me to use the Luminarte for painting on images. I have made a jingle bells card and think it will post tomorrow or Friday. Ha, ha.
ReplyDeleteThanks Allison! I love to paint with the H2O's! Its so fun! I've done the same thing of keeping track on the ABC challenge the ones I've missed but haven't done them yet. You'll get to them...hang on to the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteMe teach you, Sandy?! Not much to teach other than just start and play with them until it looks like you want. Helps to have a good brush too! I got better at it when I used it last year to make gift tags for Christmas gifts...and yes, I recycle! My family has learned to not only save boxes but to save ribbon and my tags! Look forward to seeing your card!
