Starry Christmas by Alison (Craftytrog)

Hello Stampers.
I have a sparkly Christmas card to share with you today.
Here's how I made my card...

On a piece of white card, 5.25" square, I applied Grunge paste through the swirl on the Splats & Swirls Stencil, in two opposite corners. 
I spritzed with Crushed Grape & London Blued Dylusion Spray Ink, then spritzed with water to blend the colours. When the ink was dry, Silver Gilding Wax was applied to the embossed swirls.
I stamped the Snowflakes with Seedless Preserves Distress Ink, then spritzed lightly to give a watercolour effect.

I sprinkled a little silver tinsel embossing powder randomly onto the background, then heat set it. 
I edged the background with black ink, matted it onto silver mirror card, then attached it to a 6x6" card.
I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas Greetings 1 Plate onto card, coloured with the same Dylusions Inks, cut it out, edged it with black ink, then matted it onto silver mirror card. 
I used foam pads to attach the sentiment to the card, then finished off by adding some silver, blue & purple confetti stars.
I hope my blue & purple Christmas card gets you in the mood for Christmas, I do love this colour combination!
Thanks for visiting,
Alison xxx
