Hi and welcome back. I hope you are in full swing with your holiday crafting? If not the Fairy Hugs Store has you covered. Today I am sharing a grungy (for me) style Christmas card, but still classy. Zelena, Corwain, and Wilwin are the stars of the show and they are out on their Musical Walkway!
This card was a blast to make! I don’t typically do grunge, but this one I did and I love it! But it’s still classic Holidays! For the main panel I stamped the Musical Walkway, Corwain, and Wilwin with Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink and heat embossed them with clear powder. I used the same method with Zelena, but on white paper and fussy cut her out. I added just a hair of watercolor to her wings to make them look transparent and then popped her up on foam tape in the center of the Musical Walkway. I distressed the cranberry paper with Distress Oxide Aged Mahogany and Vintage Photo. The sentiment is a retired set from my stash, but thought it was perfect.
The background layer was made using the negative space of several snowflake die cuts. I sponged several Distress Oxides through them and heat embossed with clear powder. I then added Vintage Photo to obtain an embossed resist look. From there I distressed the edges with a scissors blade. I mounted this on gold mirror card stock so that it would pop and finally onto a kraft card base.
Ok… I just love how Zelena pops!!! What’s your favorite part of the card? I’d love to know!
