Hi there and thanks for stopping by today. Today is my last card for the year of 2023. It is for the Christmas Craft Creations Challenge.
The challenge this month asks that we incorporate Christmas decorations.
I chose to use the Sweet Poppy bauble die
I started with the watercolor paints and water brush for the holly leaves.
A red Copic was used for the berries and then I used four of the Versafine Claire inks with a finger dauber to color the baubles.
The two more detailed baubles didn't work so well, but it gave
a sort of artsy look, so I left it as was. I used pencil for the outline.
I die cut merry and bright from black cardstock and then glued them on to the base of the card.
The front panel was layered to black and then added to a white card base. Silver thread was tied around the spine to finish off my card for today!
We're going to be spending Christmas and New Year in Scotland, leaving next Monday, as we have recently bought a flat in my parents' hometown, so we will be literally "decorating" for the holidays!
I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!
See you in 2024!
Shona
