Hi Everyone! I want to show you a Christmas card I made with one of Sparkle N Sprinkle's new release stamp sets - A Winter Cardinal 518. March has been so up and down weather wise that at times it has felt like Christmas! I used Glistening Emeralds Sparkle N Soft SS102 on the pine needles and Brown Fizz embossing powder EP381 on the frame. Gold embossing powder EP169 was used on the saying. I wanted to add a more distressed look, so I pounced a scrungy sponge tool on a Versa Mark ink pad, then pounced that on the circle, added the gold embossing powder and heat set.
On the silk poinsettia I used White Liquid Applique and added Sparkling Snow glitter G1003 to it.
The pine cones were made by using deco scissors, cutting around in a circle and then rolling up the circle. I also added White Applique and Sparkling Snow glitter the them. To see full instructions on how to make this card please click here.
Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope your day is great!

this is one of my favorite cards, April. Love your use of rich, warm, earth tones, and the beautiful layers so nostalgic of Christmas Time. Lots of details and fussy cutting! hugs, de
