Welcome back to a new year of challenges at Fusion Card Challenge. We're starting off with a festive photo inspiration, which is what I focused on for my card.
I wanted to try and recreate the gold background in the inspiration photo, so I took a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock and blended Antique Linen Distress Oxide ink all over it. Around the edges I inked Tea Dye. I then took the Bokeh stencil set from Taylored Expressions and went over it with Scattered Straw Distress Oxide, Enchanted Gold ink and Unicorn White. It's a shame you can't see how the gold ink looks from the photo, but it adds a lovely shine.
The champagne glass was a die-cut which I coloured with my Copics. I then added some "bubbles" with a white gel pen and covered the "liquid" with clear sparkle pen. The sentiment is stacked three high for dimension.
After all that, there was something missing, so I added a black frame to draw the eye and break up the background a bit.
Thanks for visiting. I hope you'll check out the fabulous cards made by the rest of the design team.
I'm linking this up to the Beverages theme at Just Us Girls, the colour challenge at Colour Throwdown and the Make 2022 Sparkle theme at Paper Players challenge
