52 CHRISTMAS CARD THROWDOWN (JUNE COLOUR)

  Hi there! I'm back with another card for 52 Christmas Card Throwdown. This week Tracy, our host, has given us such a very elegant colour combo!

I stamped the trees with white ink and embossed them with a Silver Pearl embossing powder, so it is a light matte grey, as opposed to silver.  I then used Gold metallic paint, ink  and Perfect Pearls  to colour the 3 gold trees, stamp the sentiment and add splatter.

Stamps: Paper Rose Studio Winter Trees

CAS Colours & Sketches #423

   It's time for a Sketch Challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches. I really love the sketch Shannon, our host, has created for us. 

I was in a Mixed Media mood, so I got out my inks, sponges and stamps to make this card. I made masks by tearing paper strips and ten sponged the Distress Oxide Speckled Egg. I then stamped the diamond pattern with the same ink. When dry, I stamped some script randomly with gold ink and added some Perfect Pearls. Next I stamped the butterflies, adding the PP again and then fussy cut. 

 All the stamps are oldies from Kaisercraft, except the sentiment, which is from Altenew.

I sponged the based card with the ink to match. 

I hope you'll check out the CC&S blog to see what the rest of the design team and our  Guest Designer have created.  We hope you'll be inspired to make your own card, which needs to be linked to  the challenge post by 6:00 p.m. Eastern time Monday. 

I'm sharing my card at the following challenges:-

52 Christmas Card Throwdown (May Stash)

 It's the last 52 CCT challenge for May and our host Fabiola wants us to raid our stash and use PERFECT PEARLS. There is a link to a video tutorial on our blog.

Sometimes you just have to keep it simple! I covered the flat side of the embossing folder with the red ink, spritzed and then ran it through the Big Shot. Next,  I swiped Versamark Ink over the raised part of the pattern and brushed Perfect Pearls in to panel. You can probably see that in some parts the gold stuck to the background, but it blended in with the red.  I set the PP by spritzing with water and heat setting.  Then I contemplated what to do next and eventually decided to just add the sentiment strip, because I liked the background too much to cover it up:)

The embossing folder was from a discount store, so I'm not sure what brand it is. 

The stamp is from Hero Arts.
