I've got another Christmas card to show you today!
I started by Distress Inking my background with three shades of red, starting with the lightest shade and blending into the darkest shade. Then, I was going for a light spritz of glitter mist, but my bottle got clogged so I ended up with much bigger drops than anticipated. I like how it turned out, though! The crown was stamped and embossed in gold on the background, and then again on a piece of black cardstock. I adhered it with some foam adhesive. I also stamped and embossed the sentiment. To finish it I added a little piece of bold black and white striped paper, and wrapped some string around it. The design is simple, but the colors give it such a bold look! Im linking this project up with: Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday challenge
