Happy Krafty Chicks Thursday! Welcome to Week 2 of our challenge – this time it’s to use a Christmas theme, or any holiday/winter card. Any products, techniques and styles are ok, you can even make any kind of paper crafting project, it doesn’t have to be a card!
I ink blended a background, then added some words with a stencil. I also stenciled some Hero Arts wax over the lower corner. The wax is similar to embossing paste, just a bit smoother/thinner and has a pearly finish. It also cleans up a lot easier too! I roughed up the edges, and adhered the ornament I had already die cut.
This month we are honored to have Becca from Becca’s Heart for Creativity join us as our guest chick. I invite you to visit her blog as well as the other chicks blogs for more ideas and inspiration!
