Get Cracking: Cheers
I wanted to try out the new Taylored Expressions Blender Brushes…. so that is what inspired this card 🙂 I also picked up this new stamp when I was teaching at Impressive Ideas in GA this past weekend.
I created 2 of the same card- maybe because I am in a bit of panic wanting more cards for the holiday season, but mostly because I wanted to experiment with the blender bruses and see how I could get a dark blend and a light blend. I am very happy with them. I love that they have white bristles so you see what color ink you used. The handles help as well 😉
Above is the darker one. I stamped the girl and used Copic markers to color her in. I then masked her with some Gina K Masking Magic so I could do my ink blending.
I used regular Distress Inks: Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick and Picked Raspberry.
Here is the light version. I love both of them, but I think this is my fave! I then diecut out the panels with the Lawn Fawn Scalloped Rectangle Die.
The holidays are a perfect time to really sparkle everything up! I used a Quickie Glue pen and Prisma Glitter for accents on the candy cane, her dress, and the bow. I added some glossy accents on the holly berries. I put a touch of Black Glaze pen on her shoes. Lastly, I added some new Distress Mica Flakes on the “ground” using a Lawn Fawn Glue Tube to hold it on.
Adding this to the stack of Holiday cards I have made so far this year. You can see all the inspiration here
I have some friends joining me this month- head on over and check out their creations!
