Light Up My Christmas

Hello!  I have been playing with glossy card stock to make this Christmas card with Candles cut from creamy white glossy CS on the Cameo using a Silhouette File.  I added a touch of glitter with Gold EP on the candles and Gold Foil on the Flames.  On my background of a glossy lustrous Oyster Pearl CS, I heat embossed  MFP Pine Cone and sentiment stamps with Zing Chestnut EP and colored the image with Copics.   I attached the die cut Candles to this and then on to a Dark Brown card base.   I was not that pleased with my choice of sentiment because the word Christmas is a rather funky font and does not show that well in the photo.

Challenges:
The Shabby Tea Room: Week# 263 Thankful.  I was inspired by the candles and pine cones and the colors of the inspiration photo.  In real life the card has a lot of texture in the embossed pine cones.
Simon Monday Challenge: Challenge is So Glossy.  I got my glossy on with 2 Glossy Card stocks and a shiny foil for the flames.
City Crafter Challenge Blog: Week 286 Getting Ready for Christmas.  I have another card ready for Christmas mailing.
Clear It Out Challenge: Theme: Halloween or Christmas cards. Stash:  Die Cuts.  Use Silhouette Cut File with Cameo.
Shopping Our Stash: SOS #226 Light my fire. Used candles.

Have a great day! I love reading your comments. Theresa

Snowy Day, Snowy Card

 

Hello! This morning we woke to our first real snow....and it is a beautiful winter scene.  Maybe I will post pictures later.  It seems appropriate to post this all white card with snowflakes today.  I made this for the challenge at ABC Christmas Challenge.  The card base is Oyster Pearl CS topped with a layer of glossy white CS embossed with Darice EF Snowflakes.  I used 2 white ribbons... I liked the contrast of the 2....one a shiny satin and the other a white grosgrain.  To the ribbons I attached the words  Merry Christmas cut with Cheery Lynn Dies that I heat embossed with Versamark and Stampendous white pearl translucent EP.  I finished with a sprinkling of pearls over the completed card. 

Challenges:
ABC Christmas Challenge: W for all All White
CASology: Cue card is festive.  I think my card is a bit festive.
Just Add Ink: Just add texture.
CAS on Sunday: Challenge is to use ribbon and/or twine


I enjoy all your comments. Thank you. Theresa
