Season's Greetings Christmas Card

on

Hi everyone and happy Thursday :)

Today I am sharing a Christmas card with you, that felt kind of "wrong" to me, at first *lol*
I used to create this kind of cards a lot in former times!
But since I discovered "my" style which is mostly clean and simple, I have not done something "dark" and "shabby" (aka distressed) and "squiggly" (because of the die I used) for a long time now!

But since this card is intended to be given to a lady who admires this style much more than my usual clean and simple style, I pushed myself to "just do it" *lol* - and so I did and this is the result.

I stamped the image (Whimsy Stamps) in Tuxedo Black Memento, then colored it with Memento markers.  One more thing I don't do much lately... coloring stamped images....
It was really fun to try these Memento markers for the very first time!
And they are really easy to color with (but I admit: I have to do a Little bit more practice to get better ;-) )

After I colored and die cut the focal image, I went over the edges with New Sprout Memento inks and an Ink Blusher to apply and then I highlighted all the edges with Delicata Golden Glitz inks using a sponge dauber.

Here's a close up so you can see the gorgeouness of the Delicata Golden Glitz ink! I have to say that I really love this ink!
Now, please keep your fingers crossed for me, that the lady who will receive this card will like it! :)

The next project shown on this blog will be a clean and simple one, again *wink* because tomorrow starts a new CAS-ual Fridays challenge! :)

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope to see you back again for a visit on my blog, soon!
