Glittery Tree

Trying to get all of my Christmas cards done, getting down to crunch time.  This one was inspired by the Virginia's View Challenge : "All About Glitter".

This card will be hand delivered so I was able to make a shaker (I don't have much luck mailing them, they seemed to get crushed).  

I am also joining in the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Let It Snow.

Some of the supplies used:

Stamps:Tim Holtz "Scribbly Christmas"

Embossing folder:  Stampin' Up "Softly Falling"

Glitter:  Brilliant Gold Pearl Ex, Ranger Gold Tinsel Embossing Powder, Sheer Shimmer Spritz Sparkle, Stampendous Shaved Ice, Pretty Pink Posh 4mm Sparkling Clear sequins, Martha Stewart Microbeads

Paint: Brusho Colour Turquoise and Cobalt Blue

Thanks for stopping by for a look.

Green Tag

Sharing a card inspired by the Tag You're It Challenge.  

This was my first time stamping on embossing paste and it worked really well.  I sponged Distress Ink on my tag and when I applied the embossing paste it dyed green, but I liked how it looked so I left it.  I was inspired by Erin Theim's colors, layout and use of embossing paste in her inspirational piece.  For my tag I used stamps from Tim Holtz, the sentiment is from Studio Calico.  I'm also linking up to Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Let's Get Sentimental, where we are encouraged to use a sentiment on our project and Tim Holtz products.

Thanks for stopping by.
