 Welcome to August!  And it’s time for the Splitcoaststampers Fan Club Aug Christmas Challenge! We have a year of new Christmas Challenges!  You’ll need to be Fan Club member but that’s easy…just click the blue link to find out how. Bet you’re wondering what the challenge theme is..I’d love to tell you but you’ll have to go see for yourself. I’m also combing this w/ the Inspiration Challenge (IC765) & THIS was my inspiration.

I struggled w/ this card. I had an idea in my head but this didn’t really turn out like that…isn’t that always the case? Anyway, I gold embossed the big ornament. It was so big I only used half of it. I sponged some yellow inks on it & also on a large bg. On the bg, I also sponged a little Brilliance galaxy gold to give it a nice shimmer. Then the wrapped string was heat embossed w/ clear/gold sparkle powder & I die cut out the mid section, inserted the white layer (w/ the embossed greeting) & put it back on the rest of the bg.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

For my card, I die cut the new Slimline die in white. I die cut two of the cabin & fireplace dies..one in white & one in white glitter, along w/ the trees in white glitter. Then I put them all inside the little frames & stamped only a small part of the greeting on the frame.

For my fairly CAS Christmas card, I put the stripe bg image into my Misti, inked it first w/ Versamark, then w/ the crimson dye ink. I knew I wanted to heat emboss it so using the Versamark under the dye ink gives it a little more open time. I used a very sparkly red tinsel powder & IRL this card is soooo sparkly! The stripes are actually horizontal on the image so I turned my panel to have them diagonal, then turned it again to stamp them going the other way.

The big greeting was also embossed in the same manner & layered onto a slightly larger, red scallop circle. The white top section was cut w/ a center angled die & I added a red scallop die cut border under it, but the lg greeting circle covered up most of it.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
