A card today for Cute Card Thursday where the challenge this week is punches. I've used a cute download by Paula at Pollycraft which is coloured with distress inks, edge distressed and touched all around with black ink. I used a small hole punch to punch the circles around the nestability cut scalloped circle and this is also sponged with ink as is the background paper.
Materials
Image: Christmas stocking by Pollycraft.
Colouring: Ranger Distress inks in Black soot, broken china, fired brick, peeled paint, weathered wood and frayed burlap, sparkle gel pen, sponges for colouring edges, fine and medium brushes
Paper: Red Bazzil, My minds eye, Shabby Princess
Embellishment: Red gems, hole punch, dimension tape for image panel, edge distresser
TFL, Back soon,
Chris

A wonderful card Chris! I just adore the way you colour your images.
Unfortunately I can't seem to get a good result from distress inks, so I'm obviously doing something wrong!
