CI#86 Christmas blues with another Acetate Tent Card

I have made this Acetate Tent Card before and I love the effectiveness of this simple fold. You can find the instructions and more samples from the post of August 14 and 15 2020.

This great stamp set makes it easy to create stunning embellishments quite quickly.

I have a bit of the printed acetate still in my stash and sometimes it overpowers the card, but I think I have found a way to use it up with this style for Christmas- you can always add more metallic at Chrismas!

The colour palette for this challenge is so beautiful and it really lends itself to watercolouring.

Here's the side view.

I am 3 weeks late for the challenge this time around but I was keen to actually complete the challenge - just in time for the next one!

There are lots of great samples on the Facebook Colour INKspiration Group.

Envelope Dies perfect for an Acetate Tent card and some new DSP

After creating yesterday's cards I was on a roll and created this one using the beautiful Gilded Autumn DSP and the Fancy Phrases stamp set. I really love the sentiments in this set. It is such a simple design and easy to create. You can find all the directions on yesterday's post for Just Add Ink (JAI#518) I watercoloured the white leaf after I had adhered the gold veins just to soften it, and I added a strip of mint DSP to the front of one of the tent stands as the white was a bit stark. That's the cool thing about this design, you can change it up plenty of ways. I'm sure we can all send these type of cards at the moment. I hope you are safe and well, and staying connected, wherever you are. I hope you have a creative week and remember, "don't just post online, post something pretty!" cheers, Liz Product List Ornamental Envelopes Bundle [ 155168 ] $83.50 Envelopes Dies [ 153531 ] $63.00 Shimmery White A4 Car
