I finally cleaned up my craft room and haveen playing! I will show some of the scrapbook pages next week but I wanted to show a card.
Color Throwdown: Grey, Green, Aqua ctd757
Christmas Card Throwdown: Emboss
I had bought a gelli plate, it’s a thick piece of gel plastic. It’s very moveable that you can create backgrounds with. I tried this new style (my first time), after watching YouTube videos. I placed a little bit of acrylic paint in green and in aqua on the plate. I took my roller and rolled the paint onto the gelli plate and placed white paper onto it. I lifted it off and …not bad but I need to do more with it. I took my Tim Holtz distress pad in peacock blue and rubbed more in around the corners. Once that was done, I placed it through my cuddle bug with my snowflake embossing folder. I took my silver embossing pad and lightly brushed it on top of the raised area and embossed it in green pearl.
I took a Christmas tree stamp and embossed it in green with embossing glitter in green. I cut it out and adhered it to the card with pop up dots. I stamped the sentiment in aqua and embossed it in blue Pearl and glued it in place. I added some crystals and used grey for the final part that I glued the coloured part onto.
My first Christmas card this year! I am sooooo behind.
Wishing you all a good week ahead.
Fabulous card Birgit…loving the snowflakes and the tree it’s so dimensional….take care xxxx
