The current challenge is Bah Humbug. The Film "A Christmas Carol" and my Tim Holtz stash heavily inspired this card which I hope you like.
A piece of Kraft resist Christmas Memories was inked within an inch of its life with barn door until a dark shade had been achieved which really bought out the resist areas. Frame is a spellbinders and I cut this out of metallic paper I found in my craft room, sanded it lightly. A layer of designer paper Holidays past and a salvage sticker were stuck behind the frame. This was layered onto kraft red and black card before adding to a white card blank. Tattered Garland die and Festive Greenery were used to cut flower greenery from various papers including co-ordinations which I sanded and inked the edges with black soot. Message is a TH stamp a favourite of mine stamped in black archival ink onto kraft card and cut out free hand.
I couldn't resist glitter so I added some to the carol singers who are singing away on a very cold and snowy Christmas Eve!!
Thanks for looking
'til next time

Huge congrats on your GD spot at CVC - and what a wonderful card you've offered up. The carollers look so great against the frame, and the whole thing has such depth and dimension - brilliant!
