This is for HYCCT1421, which is "Get Inked" - use ink sprays, and today's color challenge: Real Red, Coastal Cabana and Crumb Cake. I had one DT responsibility yet to do so I wanted to work with these images and make a collage type card. I pictured it being more vintage but somehow the Coastal Cabana didn't look as vintage as I had thought. However... these are great Christmas colors and I enjoyed playing!
I used the ODBD Midnight Clear Background and inked first in Baked Brown Sugar, then dabbed off the brown on the snowflake edges with a paper towel and inked with Coastal Cabana. I wasn't going for perfection here, and I didn't achieve it! LOL! I knew I wanted to add a little glitter to the edges though so I just didn't worry about it. I added some T Holtz white paint and some Recollections clear glass glitter all around the snowflakes (inspired by my talented DD sister, Sandee). I stamped my clock and matted it with Baked Brown Sugar cs which I sponged with CC. I cut three of the ODBD Peaceful Poinsettias from vanilla cs and then spritzed them with Tattered Angels Candy Apple Red glimmer mist. I love how the gold glitter seemed to settle in to the embossed parts of the poinsettia! After arranging everything, I added Gala Glitz (Art Glitter) to the centers. LOVE this stuff! It's a combination of coppery beads and glass glitter. All the greenery and flourishes are from ODBD Fancy Foliage die set.
Thanks so much for looking!
