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!

Sparkles Christmas Challenge 171 has just gone live and Caz has chosen Christmas Stocking as the theme for the month of May!
Finally, a chance to break out this this Woodware stamp set (Big Bubble Stocking) I ordered a while ago! I cut bubbles (Woodware Big Bubbles and Woodware Bubbles) from a piece of patterned paper as well as snippets of red and green. I think there must be another die that I should have bought because there were a lot of smaller bubbles needed to complete the stocking and I needed to pull out many other sets to try and find the right sized bubbles - time consuming and fiddly (ugh)!
Anyway not being a quitter, I finally finished the card and added this small "joy" sentiment (Reverse Confetti). Glossy Accents helped complete the "bubble" look I was after. The holly leaves were paper-pieced from a co-ordinating piece of patterned paper.

Some words may have a double meaning; for example 'Water' may inspire you to pull out your water colours you may be inspired to have a nautical theme (i.e. on or around the water)! Please mention which words you have chosen and how they inspired you - especially if it isn't obvious! And please remember we only allow a total of 5 challenges - ours plus 4 others!
