Addicted to CAS #53

Hello, Hello!! Well I've been busy here today - I think I did a mini freak out and realised that I had NO Christmas cards and yep it's Dec 1st! So today I bunkered down and started creating.

This is a card I created for the challenge over at Addicted to CAS and the code word is 'Dots':

Now for those who know me, dotted embossing seems to be my go-to, so I thought this challenge was perfect for me :) I used whisper white, wild wasabi and crumb cake, with a touch of sparkle for my colour combo. My tree is from Festival of Trees and the sentiment is from Endless Wishes and the embossing folder is the Large Dots from Stampin' Up!

Thanks for stopping past and taking a look!

TSOT #195 - Soft Christmas

Hello! I'm so sorry for the late post - but things have been busy!

Ok onto my card for this weeks Try Stampin' On Tuesday sketch:

The theme for this week is 'snow is coming' and the main panel on the sketch was to be patterned paper or stamped, so I went looking for a piece of DSP to suit. I found this one from the nordic noel pack and I love how soft and pretty it is.

I then went super simple for the rest of the card and used my Festival of Trees stamped in wild wasabi. I then heat embossed using a new to me powder called white pearl, by WOW. Oh my goodness this powder is stunning! It gives a beautiful pearly finish (this photo doesn't do it justice!) and softens the stamped image. I layered the image onto a wild wasabi oval and the sentiment is also embossed with the white pearl and is from Good Greetings.

Here's the sketch:

I hope you like my card and are able to join in with us this week.

Thank for looking :)
