Hey friends, I'm so glad you have come by today! It's the third Sunday of the month, which means a new challenge at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends! Our sponsor for these 2 weeks is Twinkle Lane Designs.
Prize ~ £ 8.00 voucher
I chose to use this sweet Hot Chocolate Girl image, and here is my card:
I printed this pretty girl onto Accent Opaque 120lb cardstock, and die cut her using Spellbinders largest classic nested oval. I colored the image with alcohol markers and added some white gel pen to the dots on her hat, and clear glitter gel pen to the zig zag stripes on her mittens. For the background, I dry embossed a scrap piece of white cardstock with the Snowflake Trim embossing folder from Darice. For the ink blending, I chose Tumbled Glass, Kitsch Flamingo, and Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide inks, to match the colors in her hat. The blending was done using Taylored Expressions blending brushes. The embossed panel was then sprayed with Perfect Pearls in water. It shows up nicely in real life, if not in my photos!
The embossed panel was adhered to the card base using double sided tape, and the image panel is popped up with foam squares. The sentiment comes from a Recollections stamp and die Christmas words set, and I stamped it in Versa Fine Clair Nocturne ink. I added this to the card with a combination of glue and foam squares. The two blings on either side of the sentiment are iridescent. I had fun making this colorful card, and now I have another one for my Christmas card box! YAY ME! 😃
