This is for Day 6 of the Holiday Card Workshop design by Shari Carroll.
I didn't have a very big star so I made 3 small ones instead. As I also don't own any distress markers I stamped various distress inks on my craft sheet and blended with a brush and a little water. Same type of effect I think!
Supplies used:
Hero Arts CG324 Holiday Background stamped with Color Box Olive Pastel Chalk Ink.
Star stamp is HSH322D from http://www.heathersstamping.com (a store here in Ottawa, Canada that I frequent).
White snowflake strip from the Cuttlebug Winter Wonderland Set.
Spellbinders Labels Four for the die cut at the bottom of each strip.
Sentiment is from the same large background stamp. What I did here was ink up the words with a black marker and stamped on the strip of green. (You can see the same words just to the left of my green strip).
Added a gemstone to each centre star and some for added sparkle.
Hope you like my version. Thanks Shari for being such a great teacher!

Holiday Card Workshop Bonus Day 1 1

For this card I didn't have any ornament dies (what you say!) to use so I kind of created my own.
I used Peel-Off's, mounted then on cardstock and coloured them with various distress inks.
Added a scalloped die cut border some wide ribbon and the sentiment.
The ornaments are hanging from glittzy ribbon and topped off with some glittzy gemstones

Now this was a really fun card to make in Day 3 of the online classes. The centre was embossed using the new Sizzix/Hero Arts embossing folder Christmas Words.
I embossed the card and cut out only a section of the words that I wanted to use, then added some colour with a Tombow marker (I don't yet own any Copics) key word there is yet!!!
Then I covered over that with a thin layer of Dreamweaver Translucent embossing paste.
Die cut 2 snowflakes with sookwang sticky paper and covered with different colour glitter powder. The red strip panel down the middle is from the Penny Black Madison Paper Pack.
I hope you enjoy looking at this card as much as I enjoyed making it.
Thanks for stopping by!
