AAA CAS Game 144 - Maxi White Space

Hello, and thanks for stopping by.

Today I have a card for the current AAA Cards CAS Game - Maxi White Space with an optional twist of Christmas in July.  This is a perfect challenge for me as I'm working on holiday cards to donate later this year.

I kept my card super simple with two strings of lights and a sentiment from the Essentials by Ellen Merry & Bright set designed by Julie Ebersole.

The strings and bulbs were stamped with Altenew Evergreen dye ink and colored with Copic markers.  The white bulb is colored with clear Wink of Stella for a tiny bit of shimmer.  I used a small paint brush to cover each bulb with Glossy Accents.  The sentiment is stamped with Memento Lady Bug dye ink.

I hope your day shines bright!



The shine on the bulbs is hard to see, so here's a close-up.

      Thank you, Michelle. I found using a small paint brush really helpful when applying the Glossy Accents.

    I really like this Christmas card, the design is spot on. Great placement of the sentiment and red makes a nice change from black. Thanks for stopping by my blog and taking time to leave a kind comment, much appreciated. Enjoy the weekend x
