This is my card for my CHNC challenge 325 - please click on the link to see what it's all about and I hope you will join in with the challenge - it makes sense to get on with Christmas creations while there is plenty of time to enjoy doing so without any panic. The challenge is anything goes as long as it's Christmas with the option of 'no patterned paper'.
I followed the optional theme: no patterned paper. I used a Die'sire edge'ables Christmas only words die from Crafter's Companion at the top of the card blank, lining the card with some lovely deep aqua coloured mirror card so this shows through. I randomly stamped a few times using an Inkadinkadoo snowflakes stamp inked with Brilliance pearlescent jade.
The decoupaged picture raised up with foam tape (part of a kit bought some years ago) is mounted on to mirror card to match the inside of the card - unfortunately, the bright shiny effect doesn't show here, neither does the pearlescent jade Brilliance ink that was used to stamp.
This shows the pearlescent ink a bit better (although still better irl):
