This is Anja again. Red and green are two of the traditional Christmas season colors. Today I pulled out all the red and green shades of Distress Inks I have and used it to make a cup of florals. I love coloring greenery and flowers so I die cut a little more and made a card and a smaller circle that can be used as a tag if we make a hole trough it.
- Cottage Cutz dies (Christmas Floral, Nested Stitched Scallop Rectangle Set, Nested Stitched Scallop Circle Set, Pierced Circle Set, Sweet Spring Kitty),
- Distress Inks (Barn Door, Fired Brick, Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain, Peeled Paint, Forest Moss, Mowed Lawn, Pine Needles, Antique Linen, Bundled Sage, Shabby Shutters),
- craft paper base (13,5x13,5 cm),
- white and craft paper for die cuts,
- Nuvo Crystal Drops (Autumn Red),
- Liquid Pearls (White Opal),
- paper glue,
- design paper (13x13 cm),
- gold pigment ink,
- gold acrylic paint.
I cut a piece of design paper and two strips of craft paper.
Then I die cut two circles and rectangles. I spritzed the lighter ones with gold acrylic paint.
I glued all the card and tag bases together.
Then I die cut all the other pieces from white card stock and colored it with Distress Inks.
I die cut all the florals in two pieces. First I colored every piece with lighter shade of ink and then put a darker shade around the edges.
I made 3D effect with liquid pearls in red and white and let it dry.
And this is my final result from a bit closer.
Enjoy your Sunday and have a nice week.
