Festive Greetings

Happy Saturday!

Calling this one Festive Greetings.  

I thought with the vibrant alcohol inked background and the gold die-cuts, it felt very festive.

I began by creating the background using the traditional colours, red and green for Christmas.

I dropped some red Ranger Alcohol inks onto Yupo paper and then some green and watched the colours blend.  To help move the colours around, I use a Tim Holtz Alcohol Ink Fillable pen and added dots and lines around the edges where the colours met. The pen has two different sized tips and is great for adding details with the Blending Solution on the Yupo.  I then set that aside to dry.

I die-cut the deer and the sentiment from some gold paper and then glued them over the inked background.  

Instead of using a whole sheet of the gold to mount the finished piece onto, I rubbed my Versamark pad along the edges of some heavy white cardstock and then I heat embossed it with gold powder.

I glued it onto a white card base and done.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
