Merry and Bright


Just squeezing in a last minute card at CAS Christmas Challenge where the theme is "Ornament". 

Also linking up at Less Is More, where the theme is "Bring It Back" as I've used a die from a set of very old Stampin' Up ornament dies.

The die-cuts were painted with crackle paint and then coloured with alcohol inks.

Thank you so much for looking!

When I saw the picture of your card, I wondered how you made these ornaments. Now I know crackle paint and alcohol ink did this wonderful magic. What a great combination you came up with!

A super stash item to bring back, Sue, and I love the crackle effect. Love those rich tones against the white too.
