This is my last Christmas card for the year. Yeay. I should add that I have not bought one single present so perhaps I should focus on that now! And the food, decorations, wrapping...
At 52CCT we encourage you to create your Christmas cards all year round and our loyal and talented participants now have a lovely stash of cards to post and a feeling of smug satisfaction.
It's not too late to join in though. Our final challenge runs for the whole of December.
The challenges are listed on tabs on our blog and there are plenty to choose from.
I chose August 2017 - Embossed impressions
I created it using a stencil. I brushed ink over it direct from the ink pads and spritzed with water before running it through my Big Shot. I used very cheap water colour paper.
It gives quite a subtle raised effect and I like the inky look.
I also added a little shimmer with Perfect Pearls.
We hope you will be inspired to join in.
Thanks for visiting, enjoy your day. x

ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat does look fab and silly to say but not thought to use watercolour paper.in an embossing folder. Do you use hot or cold press? Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteNot silly at all. There are so many choices and techniques. I just use something very cheap! Lol. Much of it goes in the bin and I get reasonable results so that's what I use for now. x
