This is my card for this weeks colour challenge to use Mossy Meadow, Cherry Cobbler and Metallic Gold.
It is also the card for Debbi's HYCCT challenge;
Diagnosis and treatment can be overwhelming, resulting in a release of emotion through tears - tears of sadness, tears of joy, tears of frustration, tears of exhaustion. Tears need tissues. Your challenge is to use tissue paper on your card. Some techniques to inspire you include faux silk, acetate and tissue, and tissue flowers.
I chose the faux silk technique as I had never done it. It is very easy and very effective. I used SU anywhere glue stick to adhere the tissue paper which worked perfectly. Loved doing this card.
Thanks for looking.
Cheers
Marg

I liked this technique for the faux silk but couldn't think of a stamp that would work for it. Didn't think of this one! But you made it work really well. Your silk turned out beautifully! And you got the CC in there, too!

The simplicity of the pines really shows off the texture of your faux silk panel beautifully, Marg! It's a great CAS layout dressed up with the cord. Thanks for playing in my challenge.

This card is lovely, and you did a great job with the faux silk technique (which I have not been able to master!). A very pretty Christmas card, sweet sentiment, all wrapped up with gold cord. Sweet!
