Good morning everyone and welcome to my new follower Teresa who owns a fantastic shop called My Crafty Heart and also makes beautiful cards.
Today's card is for the Passion for Promarkers challenge #176 'Colour on Kraft'. Have to admit this isn't something I have tried before and I did cheat a little by adding some Picket Fence Distress stain to the windows and some of the snow before colouring. I used a beautiful stamp from Sheena Douglas's A little bit festive range 'Home from Home'.
The image is just straight cut and mounted onto matt gold mirror board. The backing is embossed with a Desire dots folder onto Cordinations Kraft core by Tim Holts, and then sanded. I also distressed around this. I added a Marriane Christmas tree, a SB poinsettia and ribbon banner and a MB Frosty border. Gems and ribbon from my stash, and a peel off sentiment.
I coloured of course with Promarkers and distress ink to the sky, then added loads of white sparkle glitter for the snow. Think I went a little mad with all the gems for stars in the sky and ornaments on the tree :)
I hadn't finished the inside when I took the pics but it now matches the front.
I hope you will have a go at something that is a little different and join us this week in our challenge where our sponsor is the lovely Joanna Sheen who is offering a £10 gift voucher.
Do pop over and see the fabulous cards the other DT members have created.
I am entering the following challenges :-
