Hearts and Mistletoe

I wanted to share these cards today, just in time for Christmas...

I saw similar cards on Pinterest and used them as my inspiration.....

The background has been blended with distress inks.

The Mistletoe, the hearts, the bows and cute pegs have all been stamped.

I finished off with splattering with white acrylic paint, glossy accents 

on the hearts and white novo drops.

Wherever you are this Christmas and whoever you are with 

I wish you Peace, Happiness and Health x

Thank you so much for your generous and very kind comments in 2017.

Shades of White...

Today's card was inspired by The PaperArtsy Shades of White Challenge....

Love all the inspiration but the one that inspired today's card is from Wanda

She used stencils to great effect and was thinking about the tissue technique ...

The background is the tissue technique in white tissue sprayed with pearlescent.

The two trees in the background have been done through a stencil, 

with gritty structure paste.

The tree in the foreground is a die cut with the paste on top.

The poinsettia has also been done through a stencil with the paste 

and glitter gel mixed together and then fussy cut.

I have never used a stencil and fussy cut before.....

Finished off with the die cut sentiment.

Lots of texture and a little bling too on my card.....
