Sparkle

Hi everyone,

Today I have a card to share.  It is for Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge Let's Sparkle.  I have finally made a start on Christmas cards, meaning I have one finished, but it's a start.

I scrapped heavy gesso across a 5 inch piece of card, and placed Tim Holtz mini holiday greens die cuts in the still wet gesso to get an imprint.  When dry, I coloured the panel with Golden blue and green high flow acrylics, dried, added some iridescent fine gold high flow to one side and tilted it to get the paint to flow into the impressions of the die cuts.  I dried this layer and added lots of white splashes.  

I die cut the largest snowflake from the Tim Holtz paper snowflakes set three times and layered them to get stronger piece.  I painted it with two layers of sparkle mod podge.  When dry I added a layer of mat gel to prevent stickiness and glued it to the card.  A die cut of Merry Christmas from Elizabeth Craft  Designs finishes the card.

Thanks for looking, 

Geraldine.

Hi,

Today I am entering another challenge at Simon Says Stamp.  Tape It Up is the theme this week.  On a leftover gel print, that was a perfect bookmark size, I added some tape from Tim Holtz and Hambly Studio, dry brushed some black gesso, added white splatters and a Tim Holtz small talk sticker.  I finished it off with black soot archival ink.

Thanks for looking,
Geraldine.
