Hello, my friends! It's Christmas time - and our last challenge of the year at The Flower Challege! I hope you have a floral Christmas card to share with us! Here is your challenge - add sparkle! after all, it's tinsel time!
I had a little bit of fun for my card using an inking technique on an embossed image - you've no doubt seen this trend around this year.
It starts by adding ink to your paper using the embossing folder as a guide...
Then, run the piece through your machine with the 'debossed' side of the folder...
Using a flat sponge applicator, I went a little 'outside the box' reaching
for Espresso Distress Oxide ink instead of black ink... before adding sparkle with embossing powders gold paint and a few PFS gems - I love those brown ones!
A bit of extra sparkle can be found on my sentiment strip -
copper metallic sparkle to be exact!
The brown might not be for everyone, but I do love a little drama! YOU do YOU and join us, won't you?
OH! and a little news! We have a new team member, and you will love Marie as much as I do! Come see her premier and the sparkly goodness from the team right HERE!
