Luscious Christmas card nr. 1 (by Miranda)

 

Hi there,

Miranda here with some Christmas inspirations during the hottest time of the year.......but hey just think cool......

Always love to make these cards and fortunately I have a studio where there is air conditioning.

I used these beautiful Christmas stamps: Big Bold Background Poinsettia  (for the background)and the Gothic angels sheet and the Big Bold Background Christmas Baubles where I cut out some of the baubles.

This is one of the cards for a coming workshop, Miracle Christmas with Chocolate Baroque.

I worked with Distress Oxydes for the background and colored the decoupaged element using my Tombow markers. lots of gold embossing powder really makes it rich....

                    Hope you like my take on this Christmas card, next time there will be more......

Thanks for visiting and till next time,

    

Playing making backgrounds by Debbie

Recently, I was inspired to take a day playing making backgrounds. I set up in the conservatory which had a lovely cooling breeze running trough it. I got out all my Distress Inks, paints, a water spray and had the messiest, inkiest time.

I pre cut lots of 7x7 squares of watercolour card and followed the process Glenda showed on her Mojo Monday technique. I hope the link works because it is a great source of inspiration and techniques. I used dusty concord and tumbled glass and lightly spritzed them laid down the paper. When the ink dried I stamped the baubles with Versamark ink and heat embossed with white powder. The sentiment is from the Gothic Angels stamps and I cut it out with a nestabilitie. Thank you for visiting. Debbie

Antique looking Christmas Baubles by Debbie

My card today was such a pleasure to make, I love to colour with alcohol pens and the baubles are great for lots of different colour themes.

I stamped the Big Bold Background Christmas Baubles with Versamark and heat embossed with Wow Black Twinkle powder. The powder sparkles really well and I'm sure I'll be using it many times for my Christmas cards. I coloured the baubles with a selection of reds, greens and beige alcohol pens. When the edges were trimmed I used Antique Linen then added it to a 6x6 square Kraft card. For the sentiment I stamped it and trimmed it then cut out triangles from each end and scored twice at each end and folded. Thank you for visiting. Debbie

Christmas Baubles (by Shirley)

Hello everyone !

I have two Christmas designs today using Christmas Baubles, one of the new Big Bold Background stamps.   

This stamp image is so beautiful, I spent enjoyable time colouring it with Tom Bow Markers.  I used a white Gelly Roll pen for the centres of the Poinsettias.  I didn't want to add anything else except for the gauzy ribbon and a few of rhinestones.  

For the card below I cut out a couple of the baubles from the larger image.

The background sheet is from Love Letters- digital printable.   I over stamped with the Pine Cone branch from the New England Winter set.   I highlighted the cones a little with a white Prisma pencil.   I attached the two baubles that were painted with Tom Bow markers.  I added a little stickles on both baubles.

Thanks for visiting and I hope you will come back often to see beautiful designs by my talented team mates.
