Its my turn at Christmas card Club this fortnight and I chose the theme of texture. I had a lovely time making a large masterboard including paint and ink and silver paste with a stencil and then I cut four backgrounds from it and made 4 cards including the lovely Tim Holtz snowflake that is embossed.
Here's the four cards i made.
Ans a closer view - I mostly fresco paints from paperartsy to create the background and also did some stamping with them - the stamp is a TH one. The stencil paste is silver and is from Wendy Vecchi and I used a TH layering stencil.
A final look to show the variety of texture that I added to my cards.
I hope you have a great Sunday - we are off to visit my mum and dad and then later the girls are going to a party!
Big hugs to you!

Four perfect cards here. Thankyou for making me think outside of the box on your excellent choice of texture. I love those snowflakes. I actually made one to go on my first card and then changed the image so discarded it. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteGosh, Rachel, you can create faster than I can type! I love these 4 cards; that is my favorite winter die and stencil, and have gotten quite a bit of use out of it myself. Love your dreamy backgrounds! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful designed card, lovely colour combo as well...xx {aNNie}

Gorgeous cards Rachel. Sorry I was late with mine this time. Thank you for the challenge though. Hugs Rita xxx
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous Rachel! I would have loved to use a stencil but no Christmas ones - but you have pushed me to look for some now! Hugs Christine xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and oh so perfect! I have always had a thing for blue and white and snowflakes for Christmas and these are perfection. I deliberately shot past your Tim tag 'cos I'm still working on mine, lol, I try to avoid looking at anyone's until after I've made mine so that I'm not influenced by their design. It doesn't help that I am slow at this MM and mucky stuff too Karen xx
