Christmas in July

Following on from yesterdays projects here is another one of the inky backgrounds using distress resist and the gorgeous Snow Crystal stamp.

I used Dylusions spray inks for this one and although I adore the effect I do not enjoy the mess that using these sprays creates … there is blue EVERYWHERE as a result of this one project and my cloths just constantly run blue!

Anyway after drying I then did the ghosting technique with a stencil and water and this makes it look like a tartan in my opinion… so cool.

I kept the card design itself quite simple with a sari scrap ribbon bow and a little banner sentiment. I also added some iridescent gems for sparkle.

How gorgeous?

If you fancy watching this come together I did video it for my YouTube channel.

Happy crafting!

Catherine
