Hero Arts has so many amazing products. I fell in love with the their Luggage Tag alpha dies. I this it's fun to create your own sentiments for your projects. They are particularly amazing if you are a scrapbooker!

I love to start early on my holiday card making so I have chosen to make a Christmas card for this challenge. I die cut the letters once from white cardstock and then once from fun foam for a bit of dimension. I wanted them to really pop so I created a bright red background using distress inks.

I first trimmed down a piece of white cardstock to leave a bit of a white border and then starting with the lightest red I began to ink blend from the center out. I just kept using darker shades of red distress ink as I radiated out and then ultimately I used black distress ink for the corners.

I then used some water and white craft paint to splatter the ink blended background. I die cut a few snowflakes from white cardstock and glued them to the background trimming off the excess. I then adhered the Merry and Bright words on the cardbase which is now affixt to an A2 size card base made from white cardstock. I stamped the word "and" using white pigment ink and heat set it with white embossing powder on a strip of black cardstock and added in between the Merry and the Bright.

I hope you have enjoyed the project I have made and got some inspiration. I have listed and linked all the products I used for your convenience. Thank you so much for stopping by!!
