This is my card for CC597. Vicki is our hostess with a great color trio of tempting turquoise, real red and emerald envy. Dessert this week is birds.
These colors just seemed like a good trio for Christmas. So that's where I went with my creative process. I wanted a different background -something that I don't usually do. So I searched the SCS tutorials and found one for a faux Mother of Pearl. Here is the link.
I used a white pearl metallic acrylic paint. Sponged that on with some saran wrap and let it dry. I used tempting turquoise and sponged it over the paint, which acts as a resist. I was happy with how it turned out. It sort of reminded me of a snow squall. I popped this panel up for some dimension.
The Cardinals and Birdhouse dies are from CottageCutz and part of the Christmas 2016 release. I cut the birdhouse in emerald envy cardstock and then cut the background panel in emerald envy and also sponged with the same ink to give a bit of a color gradient.
My Merry Christmas sentiment is also a die from CottageCutz. And, that's my card for this week. Hope you can play along with us. Check out the other DT samples for more inspiration.
