I have some Christmas cards to share with you today. Well, it is that time of year, after all!
I took a dark blue gelli print and cut it into 3.5" squares. The prints were liberally splattered with a white Posca pen and left to dry. Next, I stamped some Christmas images by Sara Naumann (PaperArtsy) over the top using VersaMark ink, sprinkled them with white embossing powder and heat set them. Once I had flattened the paper back out again, I mounted each piece onto navy blue card and then on to a card front. I used up 2 snowflake snippets on a couple of the cards.

| All 4 cards are made from one gelli print. Cards measure 4.75" x 4.75" |

And there we have it, a grungy, splattered set of Christmas cards all ready for next year!
These are gorgeous! Love the gelli print, and the white embossed details and splatters, awesome job! Xxx

Oh wow--love these! Blue & white is beautiful for Christmas cards, especially with the deep blue & white embossing! Need to case you!
ReplyDeleteBellissime cards effetto grunge, Sarn! Molto maschili, a mio avviso. Gli schizzi di bianco e l'embossing sono perfetti sul blu!
ReplyDeleteoh wow! I would never have thought to make these gelli prints using blue but they turned out so well for your white embossing. Very inspirational.
ReplyDeleteWOW your gelli prints cards are so beautiful ...
