Todays Christmas in July is also a video … and a very inky messy play! I made four backgrounds but am just sharing two today. I’ll share one other tomorrow but not sure when I will share the last one as still not made anything with it!
As you can see two very bright cards with funky non traditional colours for Christmas cards but I love them.
I started by heat embossing the Snow Crystal stamp four times onto the mixed media cardstock and then added colour in different ways.
Let’s start with my favourite and the most simple one…
I used three colours of distress stain added using a paint brush and then when dry a splatter of Tranquil Tide ink and stamped the sentiment in the same colour ink.
Kept it simple with no further embellishment and a flat card onto the square card blank. Simple and beautiful.
Next the funky hot colours using distress oxides…
There are also some tiny blue speckles of the delusions ink that I sprayed for another background that get EVERYWHERE … but it looks quite nice still. The distress oxide I just added a spray of water afterwards to make it nice and chalky as a finish. Then I added the ribbon, die cut and the fussy cut embossed sentiment.
I did mount the panel onto white and then onto the black card blank to keep it modern and funky. Of course I also added an insert of the white so there was something to write on.
Hope you like these inky emboss resist cards… there is one more coming tomorrow and another sometime in the future!
Happy crafting!
