Good Morning!
It's Thursday and you know what that means --- time for a new challenge at Krafty Chicks Challenge!
I'm the hostess this week and it's our Christmas challenge week!
I used alcohol inks on vellum to create my card. This month's challenge at CAS Mixup is to use alcohol inks on vellum. This is not getting entered into that challenge as I just couldn't pare down the image enough to make it more CAS. So I will just have to play around with that technique and make another one for it! ;).
Anyway, I used Tim Holtz alcohol inks to create my background. Then stamped this gorgeous large poinsettia stamp by Picket Fence Studios in Versamark in and embossed with WOW Fine Gold embossing powder. I love how it turned out. I stamped my sentiment on vellum also and embossed with clear powder so it would stand out better. I placed the vellum panel on gold foil cardstock and then on red cardstock then all of it on a white card base. Final touch was adding some gold gems.
Be sure and check out the rest of the team's projects over at the Krafty Chicks blog. Then why not come play along. It is July and this is a Christmas challenge, hence "Christmas in July". It is now less than six months until Christmas <gasp>!
For Following Challenges:
Christmas In July Blessings!
