coffee pot cards

Hello all! How are you today? Thanks for your kind words on yesterdays post. Today i have more Christmas cards to share with you - these designs were courtesy of my co-host - not sure where she sourced them from though - anyway - we had a rare old time with acetate and alcohol inks - and this is what I made.


Both stamps were stamped onto acetate in a black ink then black sparkle powder added and heat set.


This one was painted with a variety of alcohol inks.


On this one the alcohol inks were smeared onto a craft mat and then onto the acetate.

Both were tarted up with gold pen!

I like them! I hope you do too!

I'd like to enter these into the following challenges:

Have a great Tuesday!

    Fabulous blend of colours Rachel, they give a real feel of opulence to the Kings with the hints of gold.

    Many thanks for sharing with us at Allsorts and Penny Black and More challenges.

    Ooh, lovely inky effects - they really add to the Oriental mystery of those fab stamps.

    So happy you're signed up to the Wanderlust adventure - I think it's going to be fantastic fun!
