More Metallics

 Hi there. I've not been crafting for a couple of weeks due to having a nasty bug, so today as I'm feeling a bit better, I was inspired to make a card for the Altenew Inspiration Challenge. Aga is hosting and she's given us a gorgeous graphic! Her card is amazing too. 

I took my inspiration from the painted panels and the colours.

I stamped the flowers with gold ink and gold embossed. I then outlined them with white gel pen to make them pop. I coloured the images with a mix of Altenew Metallic paints, Prismacolor Pencils and glitter Pens. 

Stamps: Altenew Persian Motifs

CASE ME A CHRISTMAS CARD WITH MICHELLE 2021

  I am so happy to be joining my friend Michelle Lupton again this year in her Christmas Card series. 

This is the how it works this year;  Michelle  will CASE one of her guest's cards, and we will CASE one of hers! CASE stands for Copy And Share Everything - but it's not about just copying a card. It's about getting inspiration from card-making friends and making a new card with our own twist.  And, of course, the card has to be a Christmas card!

I chose a floral watercolour card of Michelle's. I loved the layout, the gorgeous wash around the flowers and of course the splatter! Here is my card...

I used Karin Markers, Distress Ink and Delicata Gold to finish. I began with the full image stamped with Antique Linen and painting the lighter colours. When dry,  I went on to the deeper colours, blending on the page. I let it dry over night and then inked up with gold ink and then embossed with Distress Embossing Glaze (Antique Linen), which allows some of the gold glitter to show through.

Next I painted around the bloom with Altenew Metallic Paint and splattered some of the burgundy.

The sentiment was stamped with Karin Marker.

Stamps: Altenew Festive Poinsettia

Now here is Michelle's gorgeous card. I hope you can see how I've cased her card and made it my own! 

I hope you'll pop over to Michelle's blog and see which of my cards she's 'CASE-d' and also check out her other creations as she is so talented!

I would like to share my card at the following challenges:-

I chose January for the gorgeous colours

52 Christmas Card Throwdown March Colour Challenge

 Hi there! I'm back with another card for 52 Christmas Card Throwdown. This week Goga, our host, has given us such a fun colour palette to create with! 

I have some gorgeous paper from Kaisercraft that has a marbled effect with foiled Pink Gold, so I die-cut some trees from this paper.  The sentiment strip is from another paper pad and matched well. 

I painted the background and the details on the snowman with metallic paint. The rose gold metallic paint was a gold alternative to orange, so I could keep with the challenge colours. 

Dies: Memory Box Tall Fir Collage; Alexandra Renke trees; Snowman (sorry I've forgotten😩)

Paints: Altenew

Paper: Kaisercraft & DCWV

I hope you'll visit the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown blog to see what the rest of the team created with these colours and then be inspired to join in the challenge!
