We received a Christmas card yesterday of bare winter trees. The entire card front was covered with glitter and it reminded me of a sample I made a long time ago after taking a class on embossing paste. I dug it out and made this FINAL Christmas card with it:
(Yes, it is the FINAL Christmas card for this year. I’ve made up my list, counted my cards and I have enough. I’ll do the rest of Tim’s Tags Techniques in non-Christmas themes after the holidays. Phew!)
It was tough to find a background paper to match the original blue that the trees were on, so Distress Ink to the rescue! The text paper was originally a pale grey, but an application of Faded Jeans and Broken China to both pieces made them blend nicely. The addition of a bow and stamped sentiment and this card is DONE. As is my Christmas card list, hooray!
Some time soon (maybe after Christmas?) I’ll share a step-by-step on how to use the embossing paste. It’s a LOT of fun.
Meanwhile I’m off to do some sewing for Christmas. Those pics will have to wait until after the big day. 🙂
Wishing you blessings!
