As You See It Challenge #004 with Festive Flurry

Hi there! Super simple card with the sketch from the As You See It Challenge Blog today! Challenge #004…you’ve gotta hop over there and give it a try! 🙂 Check out what the rest of the AYSI Design Team has for you over at http://www.AsYouSeeItChallenge.com.

Ok, so the card…well I had the idea to use Festive Flurry for the 3 repeated elements you see on the sketch below. And I had tried embossing them on Cardstock Vellum and LOVED how they turned out! So I did that again. Use the Embossing Buddy to remove static from your paper, stamp the image in VersaMark ink, cover with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder, and heat until the powder turns shiny! It’s like magic!!! Then I simply used the matching framelit to crop them out. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach them to the Designer Series Paper from the Winter Frost DSP Stack. (If I made the card again, I would just use dots of Multipurpose Liquid Glue as I had to cut the dimensionals into TINY pieces to put them on each end as the embossing made them curl up a bit.) Attach to some of my new favorite Silver Foil Sheets and then to the Pool Party card base! Pretty simple. The sentiment (from one of the BRAND NEW Photopolymer Stamp Sets!) is also heat embossed. I added a bit of the tiny 1/8″ Silver Ribbon to finish it off! True confessions time…if I made the card all over again, I would stamp the sentiment down a bit more and move both the main panel, as well as the ribbon down.

These cards would make FANTASTIC Christmas cards or in my case, I was thinking it would be great for Christmas thank you cards! Join us for the challenge over at As You See It! It’s so much fun and it gets the creativity flowing!!!
