For the Cut It Up challenge, we have to use a die cut and our favourite colour. Mine is blue. I have a friend whose husband just passed away so I need to send her a different kind of Christmas card. "Merry Christmas" won't really apply for her first Christmas on her own. So I made this:
I created a faux mother of pearl background with blue Distress inks and silver paint, laid the die cut over it, stamped and heat embossed the sentiment. I like this sentiment for people who aren't going to be enjoying their first Christmas after a major loss.
I've also got a thank you card today for The Flower Challenge "Thanks".
I created a background using various light greens and blues of Distress Oxide inks. Then stamped and heat embossed the flowers in white, and painted them dark blue. Trimmed the panel and put it on an embossed layer.
