Hi everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and are getting ready for your New Year celebrations.
Our Group of Cardmakers technique for this month is Andy Skinners acrylic paint on coloured card. Andy used White on his card but any colour works well.
Sorry about all the Christmas cards but when I tried this technique out it became my go to for finishing my Christmas card stash, I had so much fun I couldn't stop. I used Gesso for the white on my cards and acrylic paint and Posca Paint pens for the other colours.
My First card is the Tim Holtz Snowman
My Second card is a Penny Black stamp and BetterPress Sentiment

Love all of your cards, Christine! The snowman looks fabulous on kraft but my favourite of the two kraft one is the birds - the red against the kraft is so striking. I'm surprised how much I like the ones on grey but they really look great. The sweet little bears on the bridge are adorable. The hammered cardstock frame on the cup of hot chocolate gives lots of interest.
Awesome cards using this technique, Christine. I love that you used Gesso for the white ... another alternative to acrylic paint that works so well!! All your cards are beautiful. I love that just a little colour goes a long way on the coloured card stock bases. The colours stand out so much. Lovely! The image with the two bears on the bridge is Penny Black - Warmth of Friendship. The other one ... I can't find my new stamps and dies after cleaning off my table to wrap Christmas gifts. :) I will come across them at some point. :) Great work with this technique, Christine!! Love, Loll
