Hello friends. Playing along with the
Christmas Kickstart Challenge where the prompt is "
Twas The Night Before Christmas" and I had fun with a Gina Marie Designs die and a glitter paper and alcohol ink technique from
Jennifer McGuire. Take a look...
Trust me when I say this card sparkles like crazy!! I just used some silver glitter paper from Michael's and 3 different blue alcohol inks to make the background, and everything else is just white cardstock. I thought this little scene in the Gina Marie Designs die was perfect for this challenge with Santa and his sleigh and reindeers flying through the sky!
You can catch a bit more of the sparkle in this close up and see the detail from the die cut better too! My sentiment is from PTI's Snowfall Style. Easy and fun and I think next time I will wear plastic gloves as I think my fingers are permanently stained from the inks...haha!! Like Jennifer did, I made a bunch of the backgrounds while I had everything out, so you might be seeing some more SPARKLY cards soon!
Make sure you check out the inspiration from
Jo and her special guest elf
Liz, and then play along...especially if you need to get working on those Christmas cards! You can find all the details to play along right
HERE.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
Sparkly indeed... It's downright dreamy! What a delightful Christmas scene and the addition of the blue tones to the sparkly paper is genius! Oh Marcia, I wish you could send me just some of your creative talent when it comes to trying new techniques. This is beautiful!
