Oh I'm so happy how these cards turned out! Love it when a plan comes together. As I was making the die cuts, I realised I could use the die and the negative space too.
When I spotted the Just Us Girls Challenge photo, I knew I wanted to try create the effect with distress inks.
Each bauble was a 4 step process ...I first blended the ink on smooth. Then I spattered with the same colour. Then I added a second colour and finally I spattered Gold Delicata.
The colours I used were :
Large Bauble : Base with Tumbled Glass, then splatters with Peacock Feathers, Wilted Violet & Delicata Gold
Medium Bauble : Base with Wilted Violet, then splatters of Wilted Violet, Peacock Feathers and & Delicate Gold
Small Bauble : Base with Carved Pumpkin, then splatters with Candied Apple & Delicate Gold
Here are some close ups ...

DeleteYour ornaments are gorgeous. They remind me of the look we'd get when we heated our crayon shaving in the middle of wax paper. Thank you for sharing with us at AAA Cards. =)
