Fairy for January CCC reveal

Hello everyone. It's the second of the month, which means it's time to reveal the cards we exchanged in the Card Chain Challenge.

This month, my card went to Viv in the UK, while I received a lovely card from Brenda in the UK.

I found this embossed frame in my UFO box and thought it was just perfect for my little scene, while also incorparating the birds theme from the options menu. I ink-blended the background onto my card base and heat-embossed the star trail (the set came with the dies and several stamps) in glitter EP. 

I die cut my NBUS fairy from a snippet of ink blended card and added a shimmery layer onto the wings from a snippet of laminator sheet with glitter in between.

Do check out the CCC blog to see all of the card that werer exchanged this past month, and maybe sign up to take part in the exchange next month.

Old and new for Christmas

Hello everyone. I'm popping in today with a Christmas card I created using a new to me 3D embossing folder (SSS) and an old sentiment die (Winnie & Walter, no longer in business).

I did the embossing using Centura Pearl cardstock and then decided to highlight the 'frosting' with a white Sakura gelly roll pen, the only white pen that will work for me. For the sentiment I used white glitter card (Marianne Design) with a black shadow layer.
