Yeah I know I'm a bit early, but I already missed the Christmas posting date for Australia, so I'm sending a new year card instead in the hopes that it will arrive in time for that!
I used the new Lunar Sayings from Mama Elephant for the main sentiment - I really love the chubby balloon letters they used. I stamped it all over my square base card in grey, twisting it to be more of a general patterned background.
I stamped it again and coloured with altenew markers and then cut it out with scissors and my finger knife so I could pop it up using pinflair gel onto the party background circle.
To create the background I embossed the MFT Fireworks set (sorry that's currently sold out but there is a mini firework from Altenew you could use instead) and then ink blended some dark blue, black and purple inks over top, buffing the ink off the fireworks. I added some splatters of extra sparkle using the Altenew Metallic Watercolor Paints.
NEWS FROM THE STORE
We have received all but one of the final deliveries we expect before we close on Friday for Christmas and the store update.
Right - I'd best get to work as we still have to decorate the house for Christmas today too!
