Hello!!
I'm stopping in to share a card I've made for the
New/First Paper Smooches Monthly Challenge!!
The November Challenge is: GOLD - incorporate gold somewhere on your project!!
I started by using one of my Favorite
Paper Smooches Holiday Stamp Sets called
"A Blessed Christmas"!! I
LOVE EVERYTHING about this set and have SO MANY Ideas with the Images/Sentiments in the Set!! Now if I only had an EXTRA 4-6 Hours in a Day to be able to make them ALL!! HAHAHAHA!! =) Here's the Set in ALL of its Glory!!
(See what I mean!!??)

I wanted to use the
Angel Image and I wanted to give her some Dimension by making the Wings 3-D!! I
LOVE to add dimension to my cards and this was SUPER easy to do just by stamping and cutting the Wings out a couple different times!! I cut the entire Wing Section out and then cut just the Large Single Wing Image out making sure to color around the edge of the Wings with a
Black Soot Distress Marker to give them a seamless and finished look once all of the pieces were layered together!! I used my
Color Pencils and
Gamsol to color in my Angel and then I added some
Rock Candy Distress Glitter to the
Gold Metallic Wings for some added Sparkle!! I Die Cut a
Stitched Frame 1 Die Cut from some
White Neenah Solar Cardstock and
Stamped and
Embossed the
Holy Star Image using some
Ranger Gold Embossing Powder!! Then to make it POP I stamped over it again off setting the Star alittle bit this time using my
Versa Fine Black Ink and I
LOVE the way it looks!! I added some
Clear Embossing Powder over the Top just to finish it off and to make sure that I didn't end up with a smudge from Ink transfer!! =) I then took some
Vellum and a
White Neenah Solar Cardstock Panel and stitched across the top with my
Sewing Machine and some
Gold Metallic Thread!! I then
Masked my
Sentiment so I could repeat the same
Gold Embossing Powder treatment to the
Peace Word and then I
Stamped the rest of the sentiment in plain
Versa Fine Black Ink and again covered it with
Ranger Clear Embossing Powder to make sure I didn't have any Ink smears!! I added some
Clear Crystal Pretty Pink Posh Sequins in
4mm size along with some
Gold Sequins from
Hazel and Ruby!! I
LOVE the little bit of extra Sparkle and FUN that they add and my Card was finished!!
THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by and I hope you have a FABULOUS WEEK!!
