Here is Word Art Wednesday Anything Goes Challenge - Weeks #669-670, below is the challenged word art:

And here is the card I created to attend this challenge:

I did not use the alcohol lift ink technique for a while and decided to use this technique again. I created an alcohol ink background with different shades of blue inks on Yupo paper. Then I used one of Tim Holtz Stamper Anonymous' Festive Collage stamp set to apply Alcohol Lift ink pad and stamp it on white cardstock. I sprinkled silver Distress Mica spray on the background. I white embossed "Merry Christmas" (from Waffle Flower's Dotted Labels Christmas stamp set) on the blue cardstock and die cut it out with MFT's Postage Stamp STAX die. I attached the greeting on top right corner to complete the card. Below is another look of the card:

Supplies:

Cardstock: Yupo Paper, Gina K Designs

Inks: Ranger's alcohol inks, Versamark, Ranger's alcohol lift ink pad

Stamps: Tim Holtz, Waffle Flower

Die: MFT

Others: Distress Mica Spray, white embossing powder
