Hi Bloggers.

Happy Christmas Everyone!

Here's today's card -

For the background, I used Sue's Shaving Foam Technique which you can see here. I used Chipped Sapphire and Victorian Velvet Re-inkers. I randomly stamped one of the baubles from the Justrite Vintage Christmas Ornaments Stamp Set using Cobalt Archival.

I stamped the sentiment and the frame from the Justrite Christmas Vintage Labels Four Stamp Set using Cobalt Archival. I cut it out using Justrite Vintage Labels Four Dies and inked through the die with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink.

I tied a bow using 2 lengths of Navy Silky Crush Ribbon. I cut a couple of snowflakes using Spellbinders Snowflake Pendant 2012, inked the edges with Tumbled Glass and added an 8mm White Pearl.

I assembled the card as shown adding some more White Pearls to the corners and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Cobalt around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

    I love the shaving foam technique, it is so dramatic, and so, so effective, it is one of the first techniques I'm going to try after Christmas,
    Thank you for all the inspiration you give to us, you have helped me to improve my crafting immensely.

  14. Good Morning Julia and a very Merry Christmas. I love this card, and it reminds me that there are a couple of things I really need...a load of sentiment stamps...and shaving foam lol. Could I ask a question about the foam background...does it have to be reinker used? I have some artist inks and acrylic paint and was wondering if wither of those could be used instead. xx
