Magical Christmas...


This week at Aud Sentiments our challenge is 'Things with Wings' alongside the all important sentiment.  We are being sponsored by Paper Shelter and were lucky enough to be given a beautiful image called Hope to work with.
For my project I printed a sentiment and the image of Hope on acetate and then laid that over the top of the accompanying backing paper.  As the image on acetate is slightly raised I think it gives a very ethereal quality.  Sadly it doesn't show up well in the photo even though I tried several shots at many angles.  Please believe me that in real life the effect works well.  Honest!!!
Here's a close up of the beautiful image...



Materials...

  • Hope image and backing paper by Paper Shelter
  • Purple 'blotchy' card from stash
  • silver mirri
  • white base card
  • snowflake dies and swirl
  • gem stones

You have captured an ethereal quality...the image is so pretty and your card is stunning.

Love your technique of the acetate...I hardly use it myself, yet funnily enough, my next post will be a card made with it too! lol

Thanks for taking part in the April Rudolph days Challenge. Good luck in the prize draw.
