Janeen has chosen a fun challenge this week using the Direct To Paper technique. I use this technique quite a lot. On this card I just pressed the ink pad onto the c/s and really like the end result for the bg to my Christmas ornament. I used some red star dp with a gold overlay for the ornament and die cut the sentiment and bow using the red star dp.
On looking at the card, now that I have uploaded it, I see that I need to straighten the word, Christmas - that's what I get for enjoying a glass of red wine while making a card!!! It is after 6.00pm after all!!!
TFL!

LOL, I have had two glasses of red wine, it looks straight to me!! Seriously though, this is absolutely gorgeous. I love the colours and the way the ornament sits below the square. Love it all Sue.

LOL, i didn't notice the sentiment was off either, i was so enjoying the distressed look of that pressed ink pad. Love how it didn't cover the entire square when you pressed it for a wonderful vintagy feel.

Love it. Looks straight to me. I figure my imperfections on my cards (and there are always a few) just prove to those who get them that they are handmade!!! Besides, it teaches others that the world is not perfect, so get over it. LOL

My die cut words are always on a slant! I thought they were supposed to go that way. :-) Love your wonderful brown and red colour combination. Looks more soothing and peaceful than the traditional red and green. I too like that the ornament goes below the square. Great card!
