For the Paper Players challenge:
I seem to have had a run on masculine cards lately. Not my favourite to make as I find them difficult. For this one, I pulled out a globe die.
I created a background for the globe with blue brushos sprinkled and spritzed on coated cs. I die cut the globe out of mixed media cs and smooshed it in various green and brown Oxide inks. I glued it to the blue background and trimmed away the excess blue.
I used a star stencil and embossing paste to create a background panel, added the globe to it, attached it to a linen card base, and finished off with two Tim Holtz rub-ons.
And today's second card is for 52 Christmas Card Throwdown:
I went with a white silhouette:
I used a piece of designer paper for my background as it has perfect dots of snow on it.
I topped it with a die that creates a perfect scene of a silhouette of horse, trees, snowy hill. And added a sentiment.
Wishing you all a safe and healthy day!

ReplyDeleteColoring the background with blue brushos and the globe by smooshing oxide inks worked so well! It really looks like the globe.
Great use of the designer paper for the snowy sky for the second card! You created a wonderful winter scene with the silhouette die-cuts.
