I don't think I'll ever get to the bottom of my NBUS (mainly because I keep adding to it) but it's fun to try! I was playing with this 3D embossing folder (Sizzix Trees by Kathrin Breen) last month! The first time I cracked the card stock so I remembered the trick of dampening the card stock slightly before embossing and that worked!
Since the prompt for Sparkles was to use the word Merry, I thought I'd use this rather elegant Merry Christmas die I ordered from Gummiapan late last year. However because it's so wide the orientation really needs to be landscape and as I wanted to use it with this embossed panel, I thought about leaving the "Christmas" off after fiddling a bit I tried the sentiment diagonally and this is what I came up with!
I added a tree (Yvonne Creations Family Christmas Window) to the lower right corner because it was a little too plain! And then went over everything with the Wink of Stella Pen to make it sparkle!
I know it seems strange to make Christmas cards in June but this year is flying by and it will be December in no time! So I hope to see your "Merry" Creations in the gallery over at the Sparkles Christmas Challenge!
Thanks for stopping by, I hope you go away a little inspired! Your visits and comments are always a joy and always appreciated! And if you leave a comment, I’ll know you were here and should be able to find you!
