Ink Blending Christmas Card





Today I am showing a card I made following an old tutorial from Gina K Designs on Youtube. 

So I bought some 12 inch Mylar sheets. I then cut a sheet in 4 pieces and I used some of my nesties to cut out the shapes. So in this card I used my newly made stencil with a rectangle. The good part is I don't have too use any masking tape at all so it is cheaper in the long run as you can just clean the stencil you use. And absolutely no tearing of your paper when removing the stencil unlike with some masking tape. And in the end it is a time saver not having to tape of all the paper. Just place your stencil and go. I even ordered a lot more of those Mylar sheets because I have so many more ideas to use them for.

I have always wanted to give this one a try. I think hers is a lot prettier but I am still practising on some things. I used different shades of Distress Oxide Inks. On the top I used blue blending over into pink and then blending over in pale orange. I tried to make the snowbanks but I don't have any gray tones in ink so that didn't really work. Guess I will still need to buy that soon. I stamped some trees and a sentiment in black ink and added a few clear pearls for the finishing touch. I also added the whole thing onto a black panel and then onto a white base card.

I will be entering this in the following challenges:
