Welcome to my blog on this Monday morning.
Here we are almost a week in to December and I can't quite figure out how that happened. It seems the holidays come more quickly every year!We are beginning a new theme at The Flower Challenge and we're featuring cards using gold for this month.
I love gold accents and this time I combined them with a vintage style card for Christmas using Penny Black supplies.
Inking in light brown I stamped the Vintage Postcard Cling stamp adding some sponging to distress the panel. The poinsettias were watercolored using Distress Ink re-inkers. The gold snowflakes are a new product called Stick & Shine. They are a super easy way to foil. I only wish you could see the bright shimmer they add. This card was hard to photograph. IRL all 5 snowflakes are bright gold.
The spatters of white acrylic ink are the final touch. I hope that you will join us at The Flower Challenge, it's easy to play along! I'm adding this to Time Out Challenges, The Paper Players, SSSWednesday Challenge, and Penny Black Saturday Challenge.
Be yourself
Have delight in your craft
Make something beautiful!

ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty and FESTIVE postcard Cindy, and those gold snowflakes make everything POP on this card!! You've also reminded me with this beauty that I have that PB postcard stamp too and really need to get it out and play with it again! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteStunning card! I love your colouring, the vintage feel and the foiled snowflakes! Thanks for sharing your card at Time Out Challenge and PBSC:)
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love your vintage Christmas card, Cindy! It has so many beautiful elements and of course the gold snowflakes. Regardless that not all of the snowflakes photographed properly (I feel your pain, my friend!), the card looks outstanding and I so love it (oh, did I already say that lol?)

What a great idea to make a postcard, Cindy. I love the beautiful poinsettia and how you scattered the gold snowflakes across the card.
ReplyDeleteThis is so very beautiful, Cindy! Soft and lovely, but festive, too, with the shiny snowflakes. You use your Penny Black products well.
