Hello, Crafty Peeps!
Welcome to the final challenge of the year at 613 Avenue Create! The Optional Twist to our Anything Goes Challenge is Anything Vintage!
Wishing you happy holiday celebrations!
I had an interesting time creating this card! I knew that I wanted to use the traditional colors of red and green. I knew that I wanted to use the ornament stamp, and I also knew that I wanted to use kraft paper for both my base and my card face.
As much as I love Kraft paper, I knew that Kraft on Kraft would not be visually interesting. I decided that I would add color to my layer using Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink and Glycerine. Glycerine is wonderful for smoothing out colors. I added in a touch of Memento "Bamboo Leaves" dye-based ink for contrast in random areas.
I love these ornaments. They remind me of the Christmases of my childhood. I am going to attempt to recreate this card but I will probably make the ornaments blue and yellow. I hope it works out. I need at least three more of these!
