This card is for Julie's CAS challenge to use a one layer card made with one image stamp and one sentiment stamp. You may add one type of embellishment if you would like to do so. Feel free to use each stamp multiple times. I have chosen silver cord as my embellishment.
The card is also for Vicki's color challenge for this week, the colors being; Strawberry Slush, Crumb Cake, Sahara Sand. I absolutely love the vibrancy of these colors and the way they came together absolutely scummy. It is hard to see the crumb cake but it is there and I also stamped the greeting in it then went over this with clear heat embossing.
The funny thing about this is I went shopping with my granddaughter and great granddaughter a couple of days ago and we were looking at Christmas decorations (yes they have been in the shops for over a month) and the colors for this year are pinks browns and grays, I love them and said I was going to use them and even took a photo lol.
I am also submitting this card to Dina's Falliday Fest challenge, I'm probably pushing the boundaries here a little as I didn't use a die cut as I had nothing suitable, instead to create the masking I used a stamp then masked out the areas with liquid masking fluid (love this stuff now that I have finally worked out how to use it lol)
The areas that were left blank by the masking fluid I have painted in with a mixture of Pearl Ex and SU Crumb Cake ink, making the card all very shimmery.
I had masked the borders off with artists masking tape but they bled slightly so I went over the borders with Jo Sonja's artists' colours -warm white, six times .
Thanks for sticking with me on this one .
Cheers
Marg
