This card was created for the Falliday Fest FF17UnderstandBlueA Challenge using alcohol inks on Yupo paper for the "bauble" in the background (I used this tutorial Alcohol Ink Baubles Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers )
I am also linking to the CAS450 "Add Another Layer" Challenge, the 2017 Christmas Card Challenge for April as well as the USEIT2017 Challenge (I have not used the Savoy Deer Head Die ever and the MB Tupelo Circle Die has rarely been used not to mention the Yupo paper and this technique).
I had fun creating the alcohol ink bauble backgrounds but will definitely need to play around more with the Yupo paper and alcohol ink colors- I felt that I added too many colors and had to "restart" several times :-) Thankfully you can wipe off most of the ink from the Yupo paper and start over- lol!!
I have more details and free step by step instructions on My Blog :-)
Thanks again for looking- hugs and I hope you have a wonderful week!

Wonderful Christmas card. Great colors you used. Terrific job on Lydia's challenge with this beauty Julie. The die cuts and layers are perfect for the technique.

Julie, your bg for the stag's head is incredible......so many lovely colors and it didn't get "muddy". You are so talented and create cards that inspire many....me included.
