Bauble in a Blizzard Christmas Card

A few months ago I made an experimental background using several masks and stencils (most of them homemade with some of my dies) and sponging with a variety of inks.  I wasn't very happy with the result but, unwilling to consign it to the bin, was waiting for the right opportunity to use it.

Using up a colourful but rejected background for a bright Christmas card

So here we are!  I'll confess though, that in order to use the most subtle (!!) part of the pattern but in the location I wanted it, I cut a circle from the background (hidden behind the top panel) and placed it under the bauble.

I cut a circle in the top panel of Bermuda Bay with one of the Layering Circles Framelits and then embossed with the Blizzard Thinlits die, using the Embossing Mats.  The Detailed Bauble is cut from Champagne Foil Sheet and decorated with rhinestones.

The word "Christmas" from the Merry Christmas Thinlits is cut from Black Foil Sheet and I added some Black Mini Sequin Trim to the top of the Bauble.

Christmas In The Woods

This is a card that uses up leftovers on my table!

Simple but elegant Christmas Card with no stamping

I cut the tree when I was playing with ideas for another card and decided I needed to use a different colour cardstock.  The decorative two-tone circle is left over from this card.

I just added some Frost White Shimmer Paint and some ribbons!

Beautiful Baubles on Shimmery Basket Weave - A Christmas card

I tried sooo hard to capture the beautiful shine of the Shimmer Paint in this photo but this was the best I could do!

Christmas card featuring Shimmer Paint and home made stencils

I swiped Frost White Shimmer Paint across the Basket Weave embossing with a sponge for the first layer of lovely shimmer.

Having cut the circle and oval I used the stencils I had made and gently sponged with Vegas Gold Shimmer Paint using a soft pouncing motion.  To make the stencils, I cut Window Sheet with the Blizzard Thinlit and one of the Detailed Baubles dies.
