Hey, happy weekend. It's been such a busy weekend so far, that I haven't had a chance to relax yet. Hopefully, after I've finished this post I'll settle into my recliner for the rest of the evening...and do NOTHING.
So, when I finished addressing Christmas cards today, I realized that I needed 2 more. So this little number is one of the cards that (I hope) finishes my stack of cards that will go off the the post office on Monday.
I'm playing along in 2 challenges.
CASology week #22 - Sparkle (oh yes, I love sparkle) This challenge blog is new to me, and I'm really excited to play along. You should take a look at the inspiration provided by the design team!
Just Us Girls #166 - Technique Challenge {embossing} I enjoy both heat embossing and dry embossing, so it didn't take me long to decide to play along with the girls this week.
I combined these 2 challenges into this Christmas card.
Guess what? This card came together so quickly, that I wondered if something was wrong. Ha! Really, though, I'm so pleased with how it turned out. It was easy AND fun.
I used a set of star dies from WPlus9 for the focal panel, then I adhered a piece of champagne glimmer paper - very glittery - behind the panel. The sentiment is heat embossed with champagne embossing powder. After that I just popped up this panel with foam tape onto the card base and I was done.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by. I hope you'll leave a comment; I love hearing from my visitors!
