CAS Christmas June Challenge - Gifts

Hello there.  It's June and we have a new challenge starting today at CAS Christmas.  The theme this month is Gifts.


Here is my card.


Took the scallop Circle Window die and dry embossed it onto a piece of X-press It cardstock.  Stamped the puppy with Copic friendly black ink in the inverted scallop circle area and coloured with Copics.  From masking paper, hand cut a mask for the puppy and die cut a reverse scallop circle mask with the die.  Adhered the masks in place, then blended Crumb Cake and Soft Suede dye inks to the background with blending brushes.


I channelled my spattering guru friend, Loll, for this next step and added some white acrylic paint splatters to the background to give it some texture.  The sentiment was red heat embossed with clear glitter embossing powder.  Mounted the panel with fun foam to a white card base then added clear shimmer to the red ribbon to finish (unable to capture in photo).


Leslie of Running with Scissors is our wonderful guest this month.  For more inspirations, head on over to the challenge blog HERE.  You have until June 24 to play along.  Looking forward to seeing what you create.  Thank you for stopping by.
