A Pink Christmas | Mixed Media | Card

December 04, 2019 Sidelle Menon 50 Comments

Hey!

 Since the last 24 hours I've been in the mood to create a lot so do expect a lot of content for the upcoming week.

 For my second Chrismas card, I wanted to incorporate my favorite color - PINK! For the background, I used my old stamps + stencils to create a textured background and followed it up with a coat of diluted gesso. For the baubles, I used pink food coloring as the color is vibrant and followed it up with the same stamps + stencils. After fussy cutting the baubles, I assembled the card and went over the baubles with my white pen and perfect pearls in black and white. To finish it off, I used a handwritten sentiment and added a few splashes of white gesso.

    Sidelle, thanks for the food coloring tip! It is not something I normally have on hand but I may just purchase some to try this technique. This card is one of my favorites in this month's challenge entries. Graphically is is beautifully structured and the colors are so complementary. You managed to create a mood and I am sure the recipient will be touched by this card when they see it. Thanks so much for sharing with us at 613 Avenue Create!
