Michael Strong's challenge to the participants in the Enjoy Michael Strong Stamps Yahoo Group was to make a holiday card that with a maximum size of only 2 1/2“ x 3”. Yeah. ATC makers wanted to know what happened to the other half inch. LOL. We could use any stamps we wanted to use.
CARD 2 1/2“ x 3” I used a Nancy Curry technique from her book Texture Effects for the base card. Black Glossy Cardstock Pearl Ex–Interference Gold and Spring Green rubbed over the cs Alcohol inks–Meadow and Bottle & Blending Solution pounced over the Pearl Ex to dissolve and set it
STAMPED PIECE I used a resist technique. White Glossy Cardstock Michael Strong Square Stamp, trimmed Versamark Ink Ranger's Clear Superfine Embossing Powder Distress Ink–Bundled Sage
CHRISTMAS TREES I love this little tree. I have been looking for a small tree punch for several years. I was so happy to find this one. Paper Source Paper Punch Scraps from an ornament gone bad that I made for Holiday Thinking Inking–nice and sparkly from Perfect Pearls
STAR EK Success Paper Punch Bright Gold Metallic Cardstock (very shimmery) Swarovski Flatback Crystals–Jonquil, SS12
ATG Gun American Craft Dot Glue–for the trees and star Sakura Quickie Glue Pen–for the crystals
As always, the sparkle and shimmer doesn't show up in the scan.
