Hi Stampers!
So far I am staying "on target" with my commitment
to the CCC13 Splitcoaststampers 2013 Christmas Card Challenge- my goal is at least
twenty cards per month and here is the first one for the month of February (a
few days early but I still need to make the additional five cards). I have found that making sets of 5 to 6 per
design is working well for me so far and hopefully, I will be able to mail my cards this year :-)
I decided to incorporate a few other
challenges – the PP129 CAS Sketch Challenge at The Paper Players as well as the
Splitcoaststampers CC407 Color Challenge- Silver, White and Gold and used a two-tone embossing technique that I have not tried in a while....
Again, if you have not visited any of these sites
yet, check out the Design Team Samples and the other entries at both- more
inspiration than you can imagine!!
To create this easy CAS card:
Use the Big Shot™ with the Lacy Brocade
Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of Silver Metallic
cardstock. Layer this onto Whisper White
and again onto More Mustard cardstock.
Use the Embossing Buddy® to de-static a
piece of Whisper White cardstock and stamp the tree image using Versamark™
ink. Apply Silver Stampin’ Emboss®
Embossing Powder ( I used a plastis spoon to apply the silver to the star areas), then gently tap off the silver embossing powder. Do the same thiung with the Gold Stampin’
Emboss® Embossing Powder- apply this to the rest of the image and gently tap off the embossing powder (the gold will not adhere to the silver areas). Viola! Two Tone Embossing :-)
Heat with the Heat Tool and once cooled, mount
onto More Mustard cardstock.
Add the Gold Satin Bow to finish off the
card- now that's fast and easy compared to most of my cards- now off to make the other five :-)
