Not an offer I could refuse...
Now is a good time to bling up our cards and as I normally shy away from loose glitter, I made an effort to use some in a bid to streamline my supplies! But I had also decided to use my favourite shiny supply... gilding flakes, from IndigoBlu of course!
I made a frame with snowflakes die-cuts covered with an adhesive sheet, then glittered and foiled to my heart's content.
The main image is from the Retro Christmas plate. I coloured it with alcohol markers, adding white gel pen and white glitter as "frost".
As a backdrop for my image, I used a circle cut out and splattered some blue, green and silver watercolours with a brush.
A peel off sentiment finishes the card (yes I still use them!)
I hope you've enjoyed my card and will join the Let it Snow challenge, you will find plenty of inspiration on the IndigoBlu blog including from my fellow Top 3.
I will leave you with a bonus picture showing the shine from the gilded snowflakes, bear in mind the sun isn't playing ball these days.
Well done Christine and a great card for your GDT spot.

ReplyDeleteHuge Congrats on your top 3! Love your GD sparkly, blingy card the mistletoe looks amazing. I still use peel offs also they have to be used up somehow and works well with your overall design. Good to see someone else is using stash up lol :-) xxx
