Hi again, I'm still on a roll making Christmas cards, so here is today's card ...
Supplies Used: Layering Ornate Bauble 1 Metal Cutting Die 30240, Layering Ornate Bauble 2 Metal Cutting Die 30243 , Snowflake Set 4 Metal Cutting Die 26341, Crisp Christmas A5 12pc Sentiment Sheets 19772. Other supplies: Ranger Alcohol inks, silver metallic paint, Minc Silver Reactive foil, silver metallic thread.
I started this card by die cutting the two ornaments from silver mirror cardstock. I then put one of the bauble ornament outer layers under some acetate and added the alcohol ink to the top of the acetate. The die cut is protected by the acetate, but it allows you to see where the ink needs to go to fill in the ornament. I was going for a rainbow look between the two ornaments. Once the ink was dry, I glued the silver ornament die cuts to the top of the inked acetate and placed some acrylic blocks over it to let it set up and dry. Once the glue had dried, I fussy cut the acetate around the outer edge of the ornaments.
My card base is a 5 1/2" square and I corner rounded all 4 corners. I then spattered on some silver metallic paint on the front and set it aside to dry.
The snowflake was cut from holographic silver cardstock and I left it as one layer thick. I foiled the sentiment in my laminator, using the silver reactive foil, and then used a small circle die to cut it out. I cut an outer circle for the sentiment by taping two circle dies together (one larger and one smaller), and then die cutting the foiled cardstock with this. I also cut the larger of the two circles from white cardstock so I could adhere the outer ring and inner sentiment to it.
Once the card base was dry, I glued down my elements. I used some scrap card stock to build up some dimension on the ornaments where I needed it so they would sit flat against the layers below (so on the left side of the blue/purple ornament and the right side of the multi-coloured one). I also just used a white glue that drys clear to attach the ornaments.
Finally, I added a little silver metallic thread to the tops of the two ornaments.
Thank you once again for joining me today, and I hope you're having a happy, creative day!
