Altenew October 2016 Inspiration Challenge

Here is Altenew October 2016 Inspiration Challenge, below is the challenge photo:


And here is the card I made for this challenge:


I made this beautiful background with Strathmore Acrylic paper with linen finish. I brushed a think coat of white gesso and spray Brusho Crystals, then applied another coat of white gesso immediately to make the different colors of Brusho Crystals blended together. Let the background dry completely. I stamped flowers & leaf from Hennah Elements stamp set and water colored with Distress ink pads. Cut out the flowers & leaf and spray it with Shimmer Spritz. I stamped "thank you" from Label Love stamp set and cut it out. Finish the card by attaching the flowers & leaf cut out with foam tapes on the background and tucked in the "thank you" greeting into the flower. Below is another look of the card to see the shiny from Shimmer Spritz:

Here is Paper Smooches October Challenge: Fall Color Story, below is the challenge photo:



I would like to use this color combo to create a non-traditional color Christmas card. Here is the finished card:


I clear embossed the greetings with MISTI to make three rows on top of the card background. I also clear embossed the stars. Then, I applied different colors of Distress ink pads to brush this color combo of background. I stamped the image from A Blessed Christmas set on a piece of white cardstock and colored with Copic markers and brushed with the clear Wink of Stella. I cut out the image and use the foam tapes to attach it on the background. Below is another look of the card:


Supplies:
Cardstock: MTF
Stamps: Paper Smooches
Ink Pads: Versamark, MTF, Distress ink pads
Others: clear embossing powder, Copic markers, the Wink of Stella pen, foam tapes
