We're alternating sun & rain every other day. Today it's the sun's turn, so more yard work is on the agenda. Quick post with 2 more cards for challenges about to close.
First is my entry for Merry Monday, One Layer Christmas Card Challenge & Rudolph Days. The bells are a very old DeNami stamp I love, but struggle to actually use. The card is watercolor paper since I colored the silver embossed image with my Zig markers. The berries are covered in Stickles & the bells are coated with Diamond Glaze--wonderful stuff that comes out of the bottle without bubbles & I've had mine for 15 years!
The card was just too plain for me so hunted in my ribbon/trim drawer & found just what I needed. It attached easily with Score Tape. The silver embossed sentiment is by AMuse & I finished it off with a PPP bow cut from SSS fog & a red gem.
Next is another entry for the W&W Birthday Bash using my only W&W product--the hello die.
This time I wanted to try "dipping" the die cut in silver. Love the look & since my sister loves blue & silver this makes a perfect note card to send her. The blue die cut is attached to white so that there's a white shadow which I then attached to one cut from fun foam for easy dimension. The background is smooshed in Distress Stain brushed pewter & then splattered with Distress Ink chipped sapphire. Finished off with 3 marshmallow sequins. I'm entering these W&W challenges: Two Challenge with Shay (2 toned die cut) & Create Your Own Background Challenge with Gayatri. I'm also entering SSS Monday as I keep humming "Hello, How are you" by The Eagles & SSS Wednesday. Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.
Oh Greta, both cards are awesome. I love that trim around your bells. It looks like it would be fun to run your fingers around it. I love a tactile card. Your hello, wow what a stunning card. I love that dipped edge and the white layers really make it pop. You rocked them both my friend.
