Still have a few Christmas cards that I haven't posted yet! On my card front, I first splattered with masking fluid and let dry. Then I sponged a light layer of blue in the bg, stamped the bells, and the greenery. Masked the bells and then sponged more blue, mostly in the center of the card. Splattered some gold color shine, rubbed off the masking fluid, and then I splattered some additional diluted white acrylic paint for even more "snow". Die cut the "strings" and the sentiment, adhered and stamped some berries. Added stickles for some added sparkle to the greenery and the gold glitter strip across the bottom!

Beautiful! Such a perfect snowy background and fabulous placement of the bells. Love the strip of gold at the bottom to tie in the with the sentiment and gold splatters.
