Hi everyone,
It's time for the mid-month reminder at CAS Christmas. The challenge for this month is:
Here's my card with an Alcohol Ink background from my stash:
[How I made the card]
1. Die-cut the trees and the circle panel.
2. Die-cut a circle from the Alcohol Ink background. The background was made with an acetate sheet and Alcohol Inks.
3. Die-cut a circle from textured gold cardstock and glued it to the back of the white circle panel so that gold would peek through the die-cut holes.
4. Adhered the AI circle to the white circle panel, and then glued the trees onto the AI panel.
5. Gold heat-embossed the sentiment. I was happy that the shade of the gold embossing powder matched the gold cardstock layered under the circle panel.
6. Popped up the entire circle panel on the card base with foam tape.
I thought the bubble pattern on the AI background looked like falling snow in the forest.
You have until February 24th to link up your card here. I hope you join our fun challenge!

ReplyDeleteIt absolutely does look like our favorite snow - the big fat flakes that take their own sweet time falling to the ground - like slo-mo-snow!
ReplyDeleteYou do make a beautiful scene, my friend. Love these sweet little trees, and that bit of added bling peeking out, and front and center!
