Noel with Perfect Pearls - Winnie & Walter


I took a short nap yesterday and when I woke up there were THREE cats on the bed!  <3
Hi, Friends......

I'm here with a pretty Christmas card to share with you that I made for the Winnie & Walter December Color Combo Challenge. Love this gorgeous palette that Heather chose for us this month!! The touches of blush and lavender are just exquisite with the blues.



I went super-shimmery by adding Perfect Pearls to an embossed background.  I brayered Tombow Mono glue over the textured piece so just the "hills" were sticky.  I let it dry for a couple minutes and then brushed on the pearly powders. Next I added more powder to give a delicate tint to the "valleys" of the embossing, tapping it gently over a scrap piece of paper to catch the excess.  Lastly, I misted slightly with water for a fixative. I haven't made a background like this for a long time and it was soooooooo much fun!! :)

Supplies used include:
Winnie & Walter - In a Word: Noel Cutaway die
Core'dinations - heavy duty white cardstock
DCWV cardstock scraps
Perfect Pearls Pigment Powder
Tombow Mono Multi Glue
Distress Ink - Faded Jeans
May Arts ribbon
Pretty Pink Posh - Sparkling Clear Mix sequins
Snowflakes leftover from an older Simon Says Stamp December Card Kit

Hope you enjoyed this card. I have a couple of others to share with you, too, so be sure to stop in again soon!! Thank you for taking the time to leave your sweet comments!!

  3. The embossing adds such great texture and the powders make for such a shimmery finish. The touch of ribbon and embellishments finish this card so well.

    Thank you for joining us at Creative Knockouts for our Celebrations challenge.
