This is the first time I've made a card for this challenge, but as I've got a bit more time to craft this week, I thought I'd give it a go. The challenge this week is to create a project embossing on a metallic finish - perfect for yet another Christmas card! I've used two embossing folders on this card: 'Swiss Dots' on the
pearlised blue backing paper, and 'Snowflakes' on the metallic silver paper. The text paper is by
DCWV (from the 'Christmas' stack), the sentiment stamp is by Three Bugs in a Rug, and the main image is from the Penny Black 'Christmas Critters' set.
The card was tricky to photograph because of all the shiny paper...but at least it clearly shows the embossing!
If you're a
Cuttlebug fan, and haven't seen this challenge before, have a look

Another gorgeous card helen .. love the blues and silver. I really must get out my Christmas Critters and start using them - your ideas are inspiring.

Very sweet card, it has a great metallic effect using the silver card, well done! xx
ReplyDeleteHelen, This is a beautiful card! I love the layers, and the work you did on the embossing is great. This is my first visit to your blog, but it certainly will be a frequent place to visit from now on :-) Nice work!
