So how did the design team interpret the theme? Take a look at the cards below. We hope they inspire you to play along with us! We look forward to seeing your beautiful cards!
Stamped background with archival ink, heat embossed tree with splatters of acrylic paint mixed with water and alcohol ink on the star
I used opaque acrylics to paint the skirt over the stamped silhouette woman, I used the same paints for brush strokes on the background, adding black streaks with a Stabilo pencil blurred with a wet finger. I added a die cut sentiment and sequins and sponged the edges of the panel.
Sketched the holly with pencil on watercolor paper. Water colored the sketch. Traced the leaves and stem with a silver gel pen. Added Glossy Accents to berries. Applied VersaMark ink to edges of leaves with a marker. Heat embossed leaves with white EP.
Designer paper, Distress Paint (brushed and stencilled), Distress Inks, vellum, ribbon, brads, net flower, stamens, die-cut leaf sprig, clear Gelli pen.
Vellum die cut leaves - died with Distress Spray Stain, Distress Inks, gold texture paste, metal embellishments, plastic beads, gold embossing powder, gold ribbon.
Light blue vellum stamped with a Hero Arts Snowflake stamp, then embossed with white embossing powder, a chipboard frame embossed with white pearl embossing powder, then stamp kissed with the Hero Arts snowflake stamp. Matted with glitter paper. Decorational elements: blue rhinestones and white texture spray.
Background painted with several Distress Paint colors; white acrylic paint added with a brayer. Decorated with a texture stamp. Petals of the die-cut flower inked before rolling, glued down on a vellum circle. Leaves die-cut from white cardstock, glued on background.
