Shimmer & Sparkle at Christmas

 

 

 *This is the FINAL post of the November promotion fortnight. Remember to leave a comment to be entered in the giveaway.*

 

The winner will be announced here tomorrow.

 

Hello crafters, I'm hoping you're having a great weekend so far. I've got a step-by-step for you today, with lots of photos, so let's get started.

 

I was thinking about non-traditional Christmas cards, perhaps for teenagers, or for people who don't really 'do' Christmas. Here's the first card............

 

I began by brayering Imagination Crafts Silkies paints onto a piece of torn

Woodware ribbed kraft card; Lavender Lace, Silver Satin, Royal Satin..........

 

 

 

 

Lavender Lace first.......

 

 

Then Royal Satin .........

 

 

 

Silver Satin next........

 

 

 

I used a bottle cap & an old gift card dipped in black acrylic paint..........

 

 

 

Mixed white gesso & water & splattered the mix on the card with a paintbrush..........

 

 

Then Black Stars Sparkle Medium through the Fir Trees stencil.............

 

 

 

The greeting is from the Woodware Clear Magic Treemendous Dots stamp set. The card is matted & layered onto grey core'dinations & a white card blank.............

 

I liked the finished card so much I made two more in different colours.

 

First; Tuscan Satin, Red Satin, Emerald Satin, Apple Lace Silkies &  Bright Red Sparkle Medium.............

Then Sunshine Satin, Red Satin, Bronze Brocade, Gold Brocade Silkies & Ruby Gold Sparkle Medium...........

 

 

                                                       

 

Thanks for looking. Remember to make sure you've left comments on all of the Promotion Fortnight posts. See you tomorrow.
