Stamped with Transferred Ink from Alcohol Inked Yupo Paper

In the previous post I featured the Christmas Cards for this year.  On that card I stamped a snowflake in the middle of a punched out Alcohol inked on Yupo paper ornament.  This card features how I used the snowflake after removing the alcohol ink from the ornament.  I filled a sheet with snowflakes, multi-colored snowflakes.  Highly unusual but so so pretty.

I had to match the sheet of snowflakes with something that would set them off and after holding many different papers up to this background sheet I settled on a multi glitter black paper I had in my stash.  The Trees are a die from Tim Holtz as well as the deer.  The deer are die cut from silver glitter paper.

If one wonders why I have the greeting as "smile" it is because inside the card I added a Christmas greeting pertaining to the birth of Christ.

And so I hope this little card creation also gives you a smile.

I'm entering this in Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, Christmas.  There are so many wonderful creations to see.

Christmas 2018

As always I am behind, which leaves me frantically busy (fun busy) together the Christmas Cards finished and mailed by the 12th of December.  I am almost there.  I only send card to those that are closest to me so in the reality of it compared to some of my friends I have it easy.

Simon Says Stamp is running a Christmas Card Day and people are posting their beautiful Christmas cards for this year.  I thought I would do a quick blog entry and join in on the fun.

This card is stamped, hand water colored using several different mediums.  The red card stock is embossed with Stampin' Up! (SU) new "Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions" I love this folder and had waited years for someone to do a embossing folder that minced the linen heaven look of papers you can buy.  I am surprised it took so long.  Other items are an older branch stamp by SU in which I added some watercolor branches to it to fill it in more.  The red card stock after being embossed has a Rub-On applied gently around the edges using the pearl to give a bit of shine to the duller read cs.  

The ornament is punched from a sheet of alcohol inks on Yupo paper, foil is applied in area and a simple snow flake was achieved by using the alcohol lift ink.  I no longer know who made the snowflake stamp as I break down all sets into categories and this stamp is unmounted from years ago.

The “Christmas Greetings” is by Tim Holtz . 

Since I finished these cards and took pictures I have gone back and added a gold die cut bow to the top of the ornament coving the hole that the gold thread goes through.  I'll add a picture of that later.

I like this card much better with the bow on the ornament.

Thank you for stopping by.  I hope these brought a smile and inspiration into your creative process.

Merry Christmas and blessings always,
