Cards For Soldiers !

  Just some Christmas cards to post for now. I really had fun making these. They are simple, the Cricut "plaid" card background was used on a white pre cut card. The card front was airbrushed to a contrasting color then Mod Podge was applied to the front. The Mod Podge acted as the glue for the plaid paper piece and gave the card the "glossy" coat; without it, the airbrushing feels gritty.
   Wreath cutouts came from a single sheet of paper, unfortunately I cannot find the label for the paper pack, I used it for chipboard! The word Noel was cut out of chipboard and then embossed with the Recollections powder, it seemed to be the best one for me. It did not rub off and burned the least, in addition I could use a coupon at Micheals- under $3.00! WhooHoo!!!  The holly leaves came from Joys of the Seasons I think?
  I had much fun using Cricut Craft Room this go round and so the cuts are saved if you need them sent to you. I was so proud of me! No Gypsy this time! Oh, yes I almost forgot, I ended up cutting out circles and gluing them down for the holly berries. The Pearl Drops stood out better this way. The cards were then embelished with red Pearl Drops and a gold Pearl Pen. I used the  gold Copic glitter pens and a brown stamp pad to enhance the leaves; Mod Podge then sealed in the glitter ( just in case ). Gold Pearl Pen further enhanced the leaves. This is fun and the cards go to a great cause, I cannot wait to make more, gotta think of something else!!
