Abstract blue Christmas

 

Hi there! I am here with a little more inspiration for our Blue Challenge over in the Bee Crafty Stamps Facebook group. This sort of card doesn't have to be a Christmas one. You could use it for just about anything. Here is how I made it.

I began by spraying a piece of mixed media card with Blue sprays - I used oxide ink spray and distress spritz.
Once this was dry, I stamped a doodle art Mandala from set #2 onto the background and heat embossed in gold
Next I used the same process to add some doodle art snowflakes
Across the background I used more stamps from the doodle Art snowflake set and stamped in Chipped Sapphire distress oxide ink.

 On a scrap of blue card, I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment in gold. 
Finally I matted and layered the background to a white 5"square card and added the sentiment with 3d foam pads. 
Here it is again capturing the shine from the embossing.

I used:
Doodle Art Snowflakes (Discontinued)
9cm square of mixed media card
Distress oxide sprays - I used prize Ribbon and Salty Ocean
Distress Spritz - I used Uncharted Mariner
Distress oxide ink - I used Chipped Sapphire
5x5" card blank
Coordinating card for matting and layering

Thanks for looking!

A beautiful blue toned sprayed background, and the added gold embossed mandala and snowflakes look so pretty over the top Sally, and the darker added smaller snowflkes finish the background brilliantly, and the gold matted layers look great..a gorgeous card. x
