Winter Wonderland - Embossing

Hello everyone - hope you're having as brilliant a day as we are in Somerset.......... blue skies and wall to wall sunshine.

The challenge over at Winter Wonderland is embossing of any type so for my card I decided to use my Santa's sleigh and reindeer stencil and Dreamweaver gold embossing paste.  When it was dry it was matted onto some gold mirri card and then onto a piece of kraft cardstock which had been run through my Joy using a Cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder (unfortunately I don't think it shows up on the picture for some reason).  The main card is a DL with some gold embossed holly design vellum held in place by brads.  The sentiment is computer generated and punched using my SU word window.  I've added some punched holly leaves with red gems and a poinsettia flower.  The last touch was the ribbon from my stash.

Right, think it may be time to get out in the garden to do some work.  See you all soon.

Let it Snow - Let it Snow - Let it Snow...........

The latest challenge over at both Less is More and at Winter Wonderland is Let it Snow.  The Less is More challenge is for a one layer card.  I have used a digi stamp from Imag-e-nation and the sentiment is from a set by Pink Petticoat.  I copied and pasted the winter scene into a Word document and did the same with the sentiment.  I then resized them to the card size I wanted.  I have lightly coloured the image with Flex and Promarkers and then used Stickles Star Dust over areas to create the snow.  I've also dotted some in the sky as snowflakes (not sure if it's come out as well as I hoped in the photo).  I also coloured the letters "o" in the sentiment and again added Stickles.  For the border down the side of the card I used a Martha Stewart punch.

Thanks for dropping by.
