Welcome.
It's time for another card at the
Please come and check out all the wonderfully done holiday cards.
The DT's and our special guest and friend Ina, have created such inspiring cards.
My card was a very simple one to create.
Using a heavy piece of acetate, I rubbed some Distress Oxide inks onto it, sprayed with water and touched the acetate to my paper randomly trying to keep most of the ink in the bottom corner.
When that was dry, I stamped the checkerboard and the circles using the same colour of ink then the sentiment in Memento black ink.
I stamped the heart, heat embossed it with clear powder then fussy cut it out so I could pop dot it over the top of my sentiment. The embossing made my star shine which was great.
Please come and play along with us.
Great chance to get a few more holiday cards done.

Your star really does shine!! Awesome dessign, Karen. I am loving your acetate smooshed background with layered stamping ... so creative and fun! xx
Grungy and love the use of the one predominate colour x
You certainly have the knack of adding the right dimension to your work. Love this bold coloured card Karen - it's RED! and how awesome it is with that touch of grunge. Oh that Heart is a winner. I love the shine you get when you heat emboss clear. Stunning.
I LOVE your mixed media Distress Inks and stamped background for your Jolly sentiment, Karen. Love your added heat embossed star heart too, A very happy Christmas card. Hugs

I love the pretty reds of your background and that beautiful star! The grunge stamping adds even more interest! A very holly, jolly card!
The orangy red tones are so bright and pretty Karen and I love the checkerboard and the circles, and then the uneven star with the heart looks beautiful over the top, and the black sentiment stands out really well. x

Very vibrant and rather funky, Karen, and you know I love it because it's also red.
I like this one too! Not ordinary, funky and colourful. Nice non-traditional stamps too.
Your red smooshed background is so dynamic and cool, Karen! The embossed shiny star with hearts is a great accent! Hideko
