MIX95 Merry Christmas

It’s time for a new Mix-Ability Challenge on Splitcoast!

This week we were challenged to use a feather in our project… that was easy! Thanks Cheerio for the pretty feather donation.

I made my background by first stamping  (Wild Honey ink directly on the embossing folder and then using it as a stamp). Then I sponged some Shabby Shutters and Broken China ink randomly on my card. I used the same embossing folder (Chevron & Latice Texture Fades) to emboss.MIX95 Merry Christmas 1 Jeanne_Streiff

I used Sizzix Holiday Greens & Sizzix Holiday Words to decorate.MIX95 Merry Christmas 3 Jeanne_Streiff

I decided it needed a pop of color and added some splats with diluted Shinhan Poster Colors Poster Color (Magenta). Great paint.. I seriously used a pinhead sized dot of paint with water to get all the pin splats. MIX95 Merry Christmas 2 Jeanne_Streiff
