Welcome

This is a bright and shiny card for today.

I’m play at the  Watercooler Wednesday Challenge. It is WWC198 – Gail’s “All About Holidays” Challenge.    It looks like it will be fun.

and the Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge #178 Pretty Punches  For Stamp, Ink, Paper’s one hundred and seventy eighth challenge we are asked  to dig out some punches! We can also use dies if that’s all we have. I had to use dies.

My card is featuring the Dashing Deer stamp bundle and the Joyous Noel DSP.  They go well together.  My card started with a base of Tranquil Tide. I used  panels from a Copper Foil Sheet to cut the mats for all the Joyous Noel DSP panels.  The Dashing Deer is also cut from a panel of the Copper Foil as is the mat for the greeting “Joy” which has been stamped in Versa Mark and heat embossed using Copper Embossing Powder.  Before I finally cut the deer from the Copper Foil, I tried several different colors for the deer and even considered cutting and embossing it with the Copper Embossing Powder, then realized “Hey I have the Copper Foil paper, I don’t need to emboss.”

The inside sentiment is stamped in Versa Mark then heat embossed using Copper Embossing Powder.  The two deer  used to embellish the sentiment panel are also heat embossed with the Copper Embossing Powder.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you like my card and that you find encouragement and inspiration for your own creations.
