Joyeux Noël

I have another card to share, featuring alcohol inks, a glittery snowflake sticker, and more NBUS supplies.


I had been wondering if I could use alcohol inks on vellum, and a search on Google confirmed this should not be a problem, so I gave it a go, and I loved the results. For the card above, I sandwiched a circle of inked vellum between two layers of cardstock from which I had die cut a circle using a NBUS die (Essentials: Carly Cutaways by Winnie & Walter), and added a large snowflake sticker in the middle. A sentiment from a NBUS Winnie & Walter stamp set (Season's Tweetings with Evelin T Designs) stamped in black Archival ink and my card was done.

Challenges:

Darnell's NBUS #9 - Anything NBUS goes


CASology - 223 Glisten


AAA Cards - #82 Winter chill




Jingle Belles - Sticky and sweet (use stickers)

    Wauw, wat een prachtig effect, alsof je een kristal vergroot hebt als achtergrond. En die mooie diepe kleur. De Noël lettertype stempel vind ik heel sierlijk erbij gekozen. Liefs Ineke ☀️

    This is absolutely gorgeous. I really love the alcohol ink on vellum effect! I hadn't thought to do that - thanks for the inspiration! The snowflake sticker looks as if it's suspended in the circle. Beautiful creation! Thanks for linking up and playing with us at AAA Cards.
