So here is a quick Christmas Card ...I know a card....
I loved this stamp and don't know why, the shape the skate ...just appealed to me ...So wish I could show the shimmer on the background...but in my excitement to finish it I forgot to photograph the background...:(
I started my embossing the front of the card using this fab Tim Holtz snowflake texture fade and then inked with frayed burlap and weathered wood and sprayed with cosmic shimmer pearl spray .
For the main blueprint image I used my fab Distress Markers and also waterbrush and scribbled the colour onto my craft sheet , picking up with my brush. I then added a little rock candy distress glitter to highlight the edge of the boot and blade.
I edged the torn edges with distress ink and added one of Tim Holtz simple saying and there you have it!
Well I have some design team pieces and comments to catch up on , so I will wish you all a lovely weekend...there will be exciting changes on my blog really soon , as the lovely Susie is giving me a makeover! my blog...not me ...that may be a lot harder!
keep those fingers inky!

Gorgeous Trace, I so love that colour combo and that skate stamp is gorgeous too, the bits of glitter just make it all look really festive! lovely card!!
ReplyDeleteThis stamp always makes me feel like going out ice skating & I can't skate! Your card (!!!) looks lovely Trace & would be a good one for your stall/etsy site :-). Have a good w/e.

This may be simple but it's so effective. Love the hints of glitter and the gentle painting. The makeover is looking good too. So professional. Have a great weekend. Jenny x
ReplyDeleteEveryone loves cards especially this time of year! I am a tag kinda girl. It's very pretty. The vintage look of the skate reminds me of the skates I used to have. And the shimmer paper is great. I love the candy cane and my least favourite is the ginger bread house, so I used it first!
ReplyDeleteLovely card Trace, love the frosty colours and touch of shimmer. Great image and embossing too. Tracy x
