Happy Krafty Chicks Thursday! This is our Week 2 challenge, and our theme is “Christmas.” We are looking for anything goes that is for Christmas.
I used a background that I made with some alcohol inks and a stencil. This is one of those situations where you just can’t catch the sparkle and shimmer in a photo. I took a close up but even that doesn’t really look too much better. Anyway, I didn’t want to cover the background up too much so I chose a smaller image from a set by Mama Elephant, colored and die cut around it, and added a sentiment.
