Lots of layers at Christmas card Club

Good morning all! Its a new challenge over at Christmas card club tomorrow but I have to post a day early .... so the theme was lots of layers... I have managed to make two cards all using lovely Tim Holtz goodies plus a stamp from Indigo Blu. Most of my layers are inky starting with brayered stains, water, then inks, more water, spray stain and mica spray stain before stamping up with yet more ink!!! Both have antiqued brass and ground expresso stains to start with then the pinky one uses tattered rose and victorian velvet whereas the bluey one used faded jeans and chipped sapphire. Here's some pictures....





Much inky fun was had making these.

Big hugs

    Both colorways are fantastic, and I love how you've combined the stains with the inks to create the vintage appearance of each card. Love the layers with the pictures from the past with the various dies & trims you've added to make each a special look. TFS & Hugs
