Hello Nomad friends. Making a start on a few October Christmas cards. Well, 'be prepared' is a good motto. The Christmas Kickstart Challenge has a Goth theme this month. What fun!! I haven't gone all dark and gloomy, but hope my gothic window and goth style text fits the bill.
The window is a Lost Coast Designs stamp, stamped and coloured with distress markers. Then I gave the background a watercolour wash with Pumice distress ink and stamped the tiny brickwork details randomly, to make it look like a church wall?? Vaguely maybe?? I recently acquired this goth text merry christmas second hand. I don't know who makes it, but Scrapmagasinet have ones in a similar style. Anyway, it's big and beautiful. I cut it from pink holographic card and twice from black and layered them.
For those of you going 'that's not pink'. I decided pink wasn't very goth so used an dark purple promarker to colour the holographic card. It is still very blingy in the real but a nice shade of purple now. The alcohol marker takes quite a time to dry on the glossy card, but was worth the wait. Also check before going ahead that the alcohol marker is not going to destroy your mirror finish. This holographic card has a plastic cover that is OK with excess alcohol, but some mirror finishes don't like it at all, so a spot test is worth doing.
Anyway, thanks for dropping by. Back soon...... Hugz
