Mixed Media Christmas Card


Hi Everyone, today I am sharing some Festive Inspiration using the new Royal Scandinavian Doily from Cheery Lynn Designs for my DT card.


I die cut out my Doily and Corners and heat embossed with a Gold Tinsel Embossing Powder, layering on to my patterned cardstock.


Next I started to cut out my Candlelight die 3 times, so I had plenty parts to build up my layers for texture. My foliage was shaded with Copics, shaped on my embossing mat and layered up a few times. My Poinsettia was also shaded with Copics, layering in my shaped petals and adding a little Gold Flower Soft to the centre.


My candles were layered twice. On the top section I brushed on some Beeswax which I had melted in my Meltpot. I then added some drips of wax and once set highlighted with Gilding Wax. My flames were shaded with Copics and some Glossy Accents added onto them.

I do hope you have enjoyed my techniques and feel inspired to try them out on your die cuts.

Thanks for stopping by today.

    PS: it's very hard for me at the moment to manage all things correctly for starting my new activity in parallel to the rest, so pls my apologies if my visits remain scare until Christmas... Things should go back to normal after that time.
