Hi everyone, thanks so much for all your fantastic comments on my previous two posts, it's so much appreciated and does wonders for my creativity. This week the challenge at Cheery Lynn Designs is to use texture on your card, so for my DT card I injected lots of textures in to this card.
I used the brick plate and ran some co-ordinations paper
through my die cutting machine and then sanded it back to reveal the coloured
core. Next I die cut this piece of paper and sprayed some glue onto it and
added extra fine glitter for a frosty feel.
My tree I layered up and sprayed with some gold mica
spray and dried with my heat gun. This helps to curl the paper and gives it a
firmer feel. I added Flower-soft snow, glitter, red stickles, my little birds
and snowflakes all to give a winter feel. The Tree comes with some wonderful
decorations dies also and you can see it decorated here on one of my previous
cards.
My window I wanted a frosty feel to, so I added some
icicles....I adore this die. They we're die cut in white card with a little
distress added to the points of them, I then sprayed glue and added glitter too
them and placed onto my window frame with a little snow. I also made some
curtains for behind my window using my Cuties strip die.
My wording I layered up twice for a shadow effect. I wish
you could see all the sparkle on this card but the camera has unfortunately
only picked up a bit of it.

ReplyDeleteI am sorry I have been absent from visiting your beautiful blog but I have been considerably absent from on-line activities.
This is magical! It has transported me to a place of nostalgia. The detailing is extraordinary, in fact it is reminiscent of a beautiful illustration in a vintage book. I have fallen in love with this scene, in fact, is it possible for me to move into that home!
Wishes

Hi Julie! Your Christmas card is just magical! So many beautiful elements and the sparkle is jut gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThank you for yor sweet comment. I'm sure my Mum would love a crafty friend and I did mention it to her. She said she's enjoy talking to someone about Pergamano only she's worried she can't speak English well enough to be able to discuss any technicalities of it :) I said I could help her with translation though. Feel free to send me an email via my contact form and I will reply ;)
Thank you for joining my blog too, it's so nice to have such a talented lady nearby :)
