Challenge Me a Christmas Card!!

Hi there friends,

I'm excited to be here today, becaseu I'm joining my good friend Michelle Lupton, for her yearly Christmas extravaganza!


Every year, Michelle invites her crafty friends, to create a christmas card, based on a theme of their choosing.

This year I chose ALCOHOL INKS! So fun.

Here's my card:




I used the Hero Arts Bauble DI655 Poinsettia and Ornament Die, cut it twice and used my rainbow of alcohol inks on it, as well as some gold mixative.

I then diecut the Concord and 9th Merry Die, from some Yupo paper that I'd covered in gold mixative.

To pop them up I used some black fun foam, and added my silver cord...I wish I'd had gold but oh well! You gotta use what you can find :)



I love the blurry puddles and overlapping colours! I'd like to paint a whole wall like this!

I hope you'll head over to Michelles blog to see the gorgeous project she's made, I know she'll blow you away!

Thanks for stopping by!

Merry Christmas!
