Christmas card craft off

I stumbled across a Christmas card craft off being held by Money supermarket.

After seeing the fab prizes I thought I would give it a go.

So first off here is my entry and a short tutorial will follow



So now for the short tutorial

First take a sheet of card big enough to fit your card blank

And choose two Tim Holtz distress inks in complementary colours




I chose broken china and weathered wood.



I started with the weathered wood, using an ink tool I smeared the ink over my page. Next I took the broken china and highlighted the edges.

Next I chose some Christmas stamps. I picked one by inkwell stamps and one by chocolate baroque, both free with issues of craft stamper



I stamped my background (which I seem to have forgotten to picture)

Next I chose a pre-made flower (my tutorial can be found here) I inked the edges and sprayed with tattered angels mist to add a touch of sparkle.



Next I wanted to add a bit of interest so took an old book page and gesso'd to dull the print



Then I inked with distress inks as per my background

I then chose some suitable letters for my sentiment



I found a pre-cut doily which I also inked, and stuck all to my card for the finished look.

Here it is again


Thanks for looking and fingers crossed for me :)
