Scribbly Christmas...Again!

You may have seen this rather purple card that I posted a couple of weeks ago...in which case I apologise for copying my own card...but this time in shades to turquoise and teal...my favourite colours! I used exactly the same technique...heat embossing using sparkly silver powder on a snippet of watercolour paper 'smooshed' with Distress Ink (Peacock Feather, Mermaid Lagoon, Broken China & Cracked Pistachio). The tree and sentiment stamps are from the 'Scribbly Christmas' set by Tim Holtz and the embossing powder is 'Metallic Silver Sparkle' by WOW. I also inked around the edge of the image with some Versamark Ink, and heat embossed that too, before matting it on to a snippet of silver mirror card.


Sparkly cards are always so difficult to photograph...but here's a photo that manages to capture a little of the sparkle:

    Gorgeous card Helen! I live all the sparkle and adding the inks around the edge of the image panel is such a great effect too!
