A couple of Christmas grids

Once I start playing with alcohol inks I like experimenting. I love the effect these give using different stamps, and now I tried a couple of Christmas stamps which haven't inspired me yet, on their own, but using punched up like this, at least I get to use the stamp!


This one I entered into the Hero Arts Monthly contest, with the theme of bling. The alcohol ink colors are Lettuce and Caramel.


Using Cranberry and Ginger alcohol inks and the 'Decorative Ornament' CG226 from Hero Arts embossed in silver and white. This card is about 10x10cm - looks big, but it is really quite small, just how I like them.

    Dear Jacqueline. I love your cards they are amazing! The first is SO beautiful in color and design. This weekend I was at a scrapbooking crop, and bought me a square punch, so I can try making cards as you. Thanks for the inspiration!

    Hello Jacqueline
    I hope you are feeling much better in yourself these days more good than bad anyway. If these little beauties are any indication on your well being it must be positive, as they are delightful, grid cards are certainly your forte.
    I was only thinking the other day that I had not used my AH for making a card in a long while, perhaps now is the time!
    Smiles:)

    Both of these cards made me sigh. It's a brilliant and very creative idea to use your stamps this way and the result is GORGEOUS. I can't pick a favorite; I love them both.
    Hope you are feeling well....
