Goodmorning, today I am posting a new christmas card and this was really easy and really fast to make! I bought some Distress stains from Ranger on a Dutch kraftshow and now I finally wanted to use it on a card. I watched some video's on the internet to decide what I was going to do and then I decided to work with embossing powder. I started with stamping an image from the Penny Black clear set Jolly fiends with versamark ink. Then I added superfine white embossingpowder on top of it. I used my heattool to let the embossingpowder melt and then I used the purple Distress stain on top of the image. Just messing around, love it! Then I dried the image again with the heattool and then I used my hands to torn all the edges around the image. I sprayed the image with Smootch spritz to give it a nice shine. After this was also dried with the heatool I used my scissors on the torn edges again to make the edges stand up a bit. The sentiment (Happy holidays) is from a stamp set from Nellie Snellenand I stamped it on my card with purple ink. The image is adhered on the card with foamtape.
Dit is nog even een foto die meer van de zijkant is genomen, want op de eerste foto is de glans niet echt zichtbaar en op deze is het iets beter te zien! :)
This is another picture from the side of the card, because on my first card the shimmer wasn't really visible and on this one you can see it a little bit better.
I want to enter my card in the following challenges:
- Shopping our stash challenge - Never been inked or neutral colour scheme
- Sweet stamps challenge blog - Non traditional christmas colours
- Forever friends challenge blog - Christmas is coming
- Make it monday - Anything goes
- The pink elephant challenge blog - Embossing

Love all the distressed edges. There is not a spot or stripe in sight, yet it is still distinctly "Larissa" style. Very pretty, and I do LOVE purple !!! LOL
