The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge has started a new challenge. As always, the theme is ‘anything goes Christmas’. Here is my card:
I really enjoyed creating this card, as there is a lot of different media and techniques which I am getting to like.
The background is a layer of Kraft card which has been embossed with a Tim Holtz embossing folder, then gold rubbed gently over the texture to create some shine.
The mistletoe leaves where die cut from a previous messy play time – tissue paper glued down onto some card, scrunching it as you glue it, then sprinkled with powder pigments – I think I used Brushos), water spritzed over the powder to encourage movement – then left to dry.
Once dry, I rubbed some over the top to catch the ridges created by the tissue paper, then die cut the leaves.
I added a foiled sentiment and a three facetted gold gems.
I hope you can come and join us. xx

Hi Loopyloo,
I love this wonderful card and your design looks stunning.
That embossing folder used is gorgeous and your colouring of the mistletoe with brushos and the gold is really effective.
Thank you for joining the MAWTT Challenge.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L. DT
