If you are looking for my Blog Candy post, you can find it Here as it is still going on.
It’s Monday which means it is time for another Paper Cupcake challenge. This week was my week to create the challenge and I went with using 3 (or more) Design Papers in your card.
Saying that… I had the hardest time making my card! LOL I decided to use Christmas Arrangement image from Paper Cupcakes and design papers Christmas Magic by nancie rowe-janitz (Christmas Carol, Bough of Holly & Yuletide Greetings)
I colored the image with prismacolor pencils and blended with odorless mineral spirits. I also colored the balls with yellow and “burgundy” Wet Looks Embossing Markers and embossed them in clear embossing powder.
Cut image out and distressed the entire image with distress inks. I also added distress inks to the design papers and used a distressing tool on 2 of the design papers. With the striped design paper, I used a Martha Stewart border punch. Added a Christmas sentiment with an actual stamp and added some green bling up on the side. In the corners I did a little piercing using a stencil from TheCraftersWorkshop.com. (might be hard to see in the picture)
All in all I really like how my card turned out after having a hard start! Come join us over at Paper Cupcake and make a card using 3 design papers or more… can’t wait to see your creations.
