Here's my card for this MCV12 challenge. Marika's fun card offered many opportunities. I focused on three of the colors (dark red, pink and gray), the presents, and white space. I stamped, masked and embossed three presents with circles on them in dark red, light pink and gray. To add extra sparkle I brushed each with clear Wink of Stella and embellished with a clear rhinestone. Note: The pink present did not ink entirely and the removable tape left a small blemish on the gifts. I used a pink Prismacolor pencil to fix the blank spot and added a brushing of Wink of Stella to the presents that helped the blemishes disappear.

ReplyDeleteMarilyn, I love that you were able to cover up any evidence of smudging and thanks for telling us how you did it...don't we all have that happen to us at some point? I would have never seen it if you didn't mention it...so obviously your fixes worked! Great use of Marika's card colors and elements...your card is so fun and sparkly!
