Even though this is a really CAS card, it has a lovely warm, vintage feel as I opted for a dark burgundy and very rich cream to colour the image. I stamped the image on water colour card and embossed it with clear powder. I used Distress markers for the background and numbers. On the background I put some colour around the image and then used an aqua brush to spread the ink a little. On the numbers I added some ink and then used a clear sparkle brush to move the ink. On the leaves I used a Zig Clean Colour brush in bright lime - once again I used the sparkle to move the ink. I cut the image out, edged it with a black marker and adhered it flat to the card. The inside isn't done yet. I'm submitting this to Jingle Belles - JB:17:06 where they want to see bling - it's subtle here, but it is here!
I was having such fun with this one, that I decided to make another - this time with WHITE, BRIGHT RED AND GREEN.

This time I've gone for a really clean, fresh look - still lots of sparkle because I used the Spectrum Noir sparkle brush to move the inks on the leaves and numbers. I added the snowflakes with a white pigment pen. The inside isn't done on this one either.
Here's the one that I made in 2015 - I used Copics on this one, full details can be found here:
You've still got plenty of time to join in with our challenge. The colorus are a bit non-traditional, but I think they are just lovely. Deadline for submission is midnight BST on Friday 31st March, that's 7.00pm EDT. Have fun!
Love that stamp! Pretty cards, Deb!

ReplyDeleteWell, we may have had to wait a bit to see this card, but it was sooooo worth the wait. What an amazing card. I just love how you used all the color challenge colors in this!!!!! Beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your distressed colouring in these cards - the burgundy is my favourite, the colours are so warm and rich, very Christmassy! Lucinda
ReplyDeletewhat an incredibly lovely card-- in every color way!!! i have to confess that when i heard the words, "burgundy, cream and lime" i was surprised... but you have singlehandedly converted me to wanting to use those shades now! (with sparkly glitter topping, obviously!!!) :) thanks for helping us "bling on the holidays' at JINGLE BELLES! <3
