Christmas with optional red, green and rust at Countryview challenges

Hello there! Wow Dec 1st already! How did that creep up so soon! There is, of course, a new challenge starting on the Countryview challenges site and the theme this time is Christmas with the option of red, green and rust. I have attempted to fulfil the entire brief with a card.


I used stamps from paperartsy to create this card in a few steps....


Firstly I stamped the ornaments using film and fibre and then fussy cut them.


Next I created the background using distress oxides.


I put everything together and painted in a branch using rusty hinge distress ink...Finally I added a mat and layered onto the card! My rust is not f the traditional variety but I think its acceptable!

I do hope you can join us .here.

Big hugs

Rachel xxx

    I thought the baubles were made from metal! I have never tried the film, it looks perfect to make Christmas ornaments! What a lovely Mixed Media Christmas card, Rachel!
