Silent Night

Hello! Today I have another "die cut" creation to share with you. I so enjoy making these scenes come to life so to speak. I used another one of my alcohol inked backgrounds as my starting point. The little town scene is a Your Next Stamp die, the Carolers and Peace are by Impression Obsession. I added some stickles to the snowy hills and finished it off with some sparkly snowflake stickers that I found ay Hobby Lobby. I was very pleased with how this one turned out. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Alcohol Inks

Hello!! It's been awhile since I last posted! Didn't mean to be MIA that long. I've been being crafty though and one of the things I've been doing is playing with alcohol inks! It can be a bit messy but it's fun! Guess I could wear gloves but where's the adventure in that?! You never know what you might end up with and no 2 are exactly alike. I now have a small pile of alcohol inked backgrounds in many color combos to use. There is another new thing I've been playing around with too but we'll save that for another time.

It's one of my favorite times of the year, the month long Holiday cards challenge over at Beccy's Place! It's a great way to get those Christmas cards made so come play along. Day #1 challenge is to use the Letter A for your inspiration, I choose Alcohol Inks! I got to use one of those backgrounds I made! This one reminded me of a starry night sky. It's hard to get a good picture but it also has some silver metallic ink in the background. I paired it with some Silver mirror card. It was hard to get a good picture, you can even see the reflection of the pink shirt I was wearing. It looks so much better in person. I used multiple dies on this card and several were borrowed from a friend so don't know who they all are. Thanks so much for stopping by and if all goes well I hope to have lots more this month!
