Red and Blue Christmas Cards

Hi everyone! Melissa here with two cards for Gina's Chipboard Laser Designs.

I thought the chipboard here added so much to the design; that makes it fun to work with.

To decorate the chipboard I first prepped them with gesso.  The leaves are Utee sprinkled on wet chalk ink that I then melted with a heat tool. The scroll at the top is is just gold leaf paint brushed on.  

The snowflake on the right is silver leaf paint. I added a couple pieces of bling.

Thanks for looking!

Chipboard used:

Snowflake Shape Set

Flourished Frame Bella

Papers from Kaisercraft and K and Company

Prima and Petaloo flowers

Prima bling

Vintaj metal

Jaquard Pearlex Powder

Plaid Liquid Gold Leaf paint, also silver

Distress Crackle Paint-Clear Rock Candy

Tsuineko chalk ink

Viva Modeling Cream

A few pointed back Swarovski crystals

Silver Stickles

For the background I painted watercolor paper with red acrylic paint. I sprinkled on Utee while the paint was wet, then melted it with a heat tool.  I brushed over the top of the Utee with gold leaf paint.

On top of the watercolor paper is a piece of canvas. I painted it with Viva Modeling Cream. When it was dry I rubbed on some gold Pearlex Powder.
