Usually we don't send cards in December, but this year cards are flying all over the world with the Card Chain Challenge. We had a tic-tac-toe challenge and here's what I went with - Torn Edges/Friendship/Blue. I wanted to make a holiday card and thought I could come up with something using these parameters.
Remember when we all made hills with torn edges and many of us turned to using die-cuts? Well, back to the basics of torn edges I went. Blue is a great color for cold holidays and a friend can receive a holiday card too. I liked the dark blue card for a background, but it was too stark so I took Hero Arts Unicorn White ink and a blending tool to make a frosty night sky and I love it. I think I hit on a good design and color scheme as I had been coloring the gnomes in reds and greens.
Supplies:
Sizzix - Tim Holtz - Alterations Collection - Thinlits Die - Tree Line
Die-namics cute cloud outlines
Torn copy paper sponged with broken china distress ink
Nuvo Crystal Gloss - Midnight Blue
Navy blue card stock sponged with Hero Arts Unicorn White ink
Distress inks chipped sapphire (happy holidays) and broken china (hills & trees)
Vagabond die cut machine
