I had a couple of weeks off due to being ill and half term with my 4
Kiddies taking me away from my Desk for far too long - but today I am
back to where I love to be - in my Korner creating pretties
I have really gotten into making my Christmas Cards and most of those
have been non-traditional colours - I love to mix it up a bit - this
time I chose soft pink, brown and rich gold
The Bee Crafty products I have used are...
And - Distress Inks 'Spun Sugar', 'Tattered Rose' and 'Victorian Velvet' (all stocked on the Bee Crafty Webshop
I chose a 7x7 White Cardblank, and added some Matt & Layering using
some pearlescent cardstock from my stash, the gold piece I used an
embossing folder to create a swirly background.
With a small piece of Linen Cardstock I inked through the Star Template
using Distress Inks 'Spun Sugar', 'Tattered Rose' and 'Victorian Velvet'
to create the an ombre effect (lighter in the middle and darkening
towards the edges)
I stamped The 'Believe' accross the Star at a jaunty angle using brown
ink, the 'Splatter Swirl' border around the edge of the Linen Cardstock
and then stamped the 'Snowflakes' into opposite corners using the brown
ink and 'Victorian Velvet' distress ink.
I ran my embossing ink over the edges of the Linen Cardstock and dipped
these edges into gold embossing powder then heated with my 'Heat Gun'
(available from Bee Crafty's Webshop) to melt the powder and create the
smooth gold finish. I also used my Embossing Ink Pen to draw a shadow
around the 'Believe' word then heat embossed this in Gold too.
I hope you like my card today. I really do like how it turned out.
