It's Monday and time for a new challenge at Merry Monday, Debbie is challenging us to Use a Star on our Christmas cards this week. I made two cards this week in slightly different colour ways. The stamped Star is Silver Embossed and placed in the cut out star for some extra interest, the Merry Christmas is layered 4 times with White and Basic Grey card and the top layer was painted with the Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen. The Whisper White Mat is dry embossed with the Lucky Stars E/Folder and I finished off with some Metallic Enamel Shapes.
Supplies:
Stamps: S/U's Bright and Beautiful
Card: Smokey Slate, Whisper White
Ink: Versamark
Finishing Touches: Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen, Metallic Enamel Shapes
Cool Tools: Big Shot, Dee's Distinctly Dies - Merry Christmas Small, Sizzix Stars Framelit Die, Embossing Buddy, Silver E/Powder, Heat Tool, Dble Sided Tape, Foam Tape, ZXpress Glue Pen
For the second card I changed the colours around and finished with the Red Glitter card and Red Sequins.

Pretty cards Susan. I love how the red pops on the second card. The star embossed background is perfect.
ReplyDeleteTwo starry beauties, Sue! Especially love the darker grey with the red sentiment - great combo! And the strip of embossed stars on the inside adds the perfect finishing touch!!
ReplyDeleteI just love red and gray together! This is wonderful!
