<p>On my mixed media Christmas card, I used the <a href="https://stamplorations.auctivacommerce.com/Christmas-Baubles-1-Layering-Dies-CUTplorations-P5772374.aspx">Christmas Baubles #1 Layering Dies</a>, <a href="https://stamplorations.auctivacommerce.com/Crazy-Double-Running-Stitch-Rectangle-Nesting-Dies-CUTplorations-P5623511.aspx">Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies</a>, <a href="https://stamplorations.auctivacommerce.com/Homespun-Christmas-Shery-Russ-Designs-P5772368.aspx">Homespun Christmas Stamp Set</a>, <a href="https://stamplorations.auctivacommerce.com/Holly-Background-ARTplorations-Stencil-P5186912.aspx">Holly Background ARTplorations Stencil</a>. And here&#8217;s what inspiration me to create for the <a href="http://stamplorations.blogspot.com/2018/12/cutplorations-december.html">CUTplorations December Challenge</a>.</p>

<p>I used the watercolor ghosting technique with <a href="https://stamplorations.auctivacommerce.com/Holly-Background-ARTplorations-Stencil-P5186912.aspx">Holly Background ARTplorations Stencil</a> to create the background. After that, I added some white paint splatters and dried it with craft heater. After that cut it with the medium size of the <a href="https://stamplorations.auctivacommerce.com/Crazy-Double-Running-Stitch-Rectangle-Nesting-Dies-CUTplorations-P5623511.aspx">Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies</a>.</p>
<p>I cut out the ornament <a href="https://stamplorations.auctivacommerce.com/Christmas-Baubles-1-Layering-Dies-CUTplorations-P5772374.aspx">Christmas Baubles #1 Layering Dies</a> using red cardstock and gold metallic cardstock. I stacked them together with dries-clear adhesive. I tied some of the baker&#8217;s twine on the ornament and added it on the card panel with 3D foam tape. I secured the twine behind the panel with tape, and I added the panel on the card with dries-clear adhesive permanent glue.</p>
<p>I stamped the sentiment from <a href="https://stamplorations.auctivacommerce.com/Homespun-Christmas-Shery-Russ-Designs-P5772368.aspx">Homespun Christmas Stamp Set</a> with VersaFine Clair Glamorous Ink Pad.</p>
<p>I drew lines to make the frame using Gold UniBall Gel Pen.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s my card for this challenge. I hope you all like it. And&#8230; it is your turn.
