Cardfront Builder with Embossing Paste

Continuing my quest to attack everything that doesn't breath with Embossing Paste!  I started out by making stencils with the dies in the Cardfront Builder set (which matches the Carols of Christmas stamp set - available as a bundle to save 10%).  These products will be available from 1st August as an early release from the Holiday Catalogue (due later this year).

My first Christmas card for the year!  It features stencils I made with the Cardfront Builder dies
and Embossing paste

I then placed the moon and stars stencil onto a piece of Smoky Slate cardstock and used a small amount of Embossing Paste straight from the pot.

When that embossing was dry, I positioned the two tree stencils and used Embossing Paste that I had coloured with a drop of Tranquil Tide ink.  Once that layer was dry, I went back to using the paste direct from the pot to add snow to the trees and foreground.  While it was still wet, I sprinkled it with some Dazzling Diamonds which sparkles nicely - although I didn't manage to capture it with my photography.

I have mislaid my stamp set (!!!) so I cut out the deer and watercoloured her.  I stamped the greeting with Tranquil Tide ink and then added a layer of Wink of Stella to the word "sparkle", although it doesn't show in my photographs.

The trees have quite a bit of depth to them!

Thank you for your visit.
'Til next time!

Holiday Catalogue 2015 - Sneak Peak!

Christmas sleigh ride!  

I know, we don't have snow at Christmas in Austalia .... we still like our traditional (Northern Hemisphere) Christmas images though, to get us in the spirit!

The lights are on but is anyone home?

I set out to create depth by placing dark colours in the foreground fading to lighter in the background.  By using a monochromatic colour scheme, I was aiming to evoke a silent, late night sleigh ride.  The only colour comes from the cosy, warm houses on the distant hill.

This card provides a sneak peak at several new products in the Holiday Catalogue:

• Softly Falling Embossing Folder
• Sleigh Ride Edgelits
• Glitter ribbon (it will also be available in gold) - NB I used two pieces side by side on this card.

I also used the Lots of Joy stamp set, the star from the Itty Bitty Accents punch set, Tags & Labels Framelits and some silver glimmer paper - all from the Annual Catalogue. 

I've added a little of black ribbon from my stash and a couple of tiny crystals.
