12 Days of Christmas Day 8: Metallic ornaments card


Welcome to day 8 of Smeared & Smudged 12 Days of Christmas sponsored by Smeared Ink. Check out the blog roll of participating artists in the right sidebar. We'll be posting every other day until the "Big" day.

Today's card features background paper that I made using Faber Castell Gellatos, which are creamy colored sticks (like a lip gloss) that you rub on paper and they are blendable. I used blues, greens and a silver metallic. After they dried I over stamped them with images from the Urban Decay sheet from Smeared Ink. Day after day I use that sheet and I still haven't used all the stamps on it yet. The "tire track" on the right is the edge of a larger image- major coolness!

This card also fits the Squigglefly Challenge for this week: Clean and Simple Holiday theme. Last Squigglefly challenge until 2012!


Randy here- Good Morning! I just toasted up half a cranberry bagel and after I eat I'm going to tackle wrapping some gifts (but I might wash my hooves first!) Wrapping is a challenge when you have hooves- just saying ;) Milly was awake at 5:30am and she finished wrapping and left for the community center to walk around their track for an hour. I'm going to enjoy the peace and quiet ;)

Thanks for stopping by!
