This is number five from the five card designs I made for the Christmas Card Swap. Though in actuality, the first one I made pieces for.
I started with some yupo paper, alcohol ink, and acrylic ink. I swirled and swished them around until I had an intersting pattern.
Next a used a poinsettia die cut to cut petal shapes, which I instead used as ornaments.
Next I used a black posca pen to add detail to each ornament. Then I painted two cards with shimmery green watercolor and glued down my ornaments. I die cut the sentiment from some shiny gold scrapbook paper.
To finish things off, I added some more doodles and stars with a fine liner and outlined the sentiment so it would pop more. I was going for a 50s look overall.
