Holly Jolly Christmas Challenges' challenge this week is to create a Christmas card with nature in mind. Lots of different cards come to mind such as poinsettias, pines, holly and Christmas trees. I chose to use our sponsor Fred She Said Designs' pine cone spray for my card. Fred has a great assortment of nature inspired digital stamps and is offering a great prize for one lucky winner.
Once I had arranged my images on the page the way I wanted I used evergreen distress ink to colour part of the card then added some Copic Markers on the pin needles and pine cones. I then embossed a Merry Christmas in gold embossing powered and flicked some white acrylic paint to represent snow on the scene. To complete the card I added some bling and layered the image over gold paper.
Come join us this week at Holly Jolly. Thank you for stopping to take a look.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. Love how you did the pinecone sprays and the distress ink background.
ReplyDeleteThis is so gorgeous!!! I saw this on the Holly Jolly blog yesterday and loved it! I love what you did with these pine boughs. I have the image and didn't know what you would do with it. Now I know! Love the little gems you added too. Thanks for playing with CSAYL.
ReplyDeleteWonderful card Judy! It inspired me to buy this set from Fred, She Said! :)
