 Good morning crafters, Kirsten here. I'm taking Lisa's slot today to give her a chance to catch up after her busy & successful weekend at the NEC. She will be here on Friday & Saturday.

 

Today's card very nearly failed at the first hurdle. I began by swiping various distress inks - Picked Raspberry, Peeled Paint, Chipped Sapphire, Broken China - onto my craft sheet, spritzing them with water & laying a piece of white card on top.

 

Then I applied Black Stars Sparkle Medium through the Imagination Crafts

 Fir Trees stencil on top & set it aside to dry.

 

When it was dry, the first thing I saw was the outline of the Picked Raspberry distress inkpad, slap bang in the middle of the card.......... 

 

 

 

After much gnashing of teeth, I wondered how the trees would look if I cut them out. Not bad as it happens........

 

 

 

I scraped some Diamond Sparked Medium onto the Imagination Crafts Blue Snow background card, layered the trees & added a few embellishments & liquid pearls........

 

 

 

Not a bad rescue if I say so myself. :)
