Those of you who love Christmas MUST stop by the New Challenge Blog Bah! Humbug! Not only will you get a jump on your cards for NEXT Christmas, but you'll also have a chance to use all of the great stuff you bought or have stashed that you didn't have time for during the holidays. WooHoo! This week the challenge is to use GLITTER. This card was a tough one to get on film, because not only do I have glitter, but I used my Christmas release Cuttlebug embossing folder on mirror cardstock. YIKES! The green mat on this card is glitter cardstock and I used the same glitter card stock to punch the pine needles. The pine cone is Tim Holtz Distress Stickles and I've also used Icicle Stickles on the embossed snowflakes. Because I didn't think they showed up enough, I also sprinkled Doodlebug Chunky glitter on them while they were still wet . The large glitter snowflakes were Jolee stickers. To add dimention to the cardinal, I took a small piece of red mirror card stock and embossed that and then cut it out and popped it.
Today is my last day at CHA. I so apologize that I haven't had time to visit your blogs and leave comments but I certainly hope to catch up tomorrow. The experience has been AMAZING! Filming was interesting yesterday. Natalie and Miranda from Custom Crops are pros at it all, but I managed to do a few that I hope aren't too bad. Because of technical difficulties on a few of them, we'll be back this morning hoping to try again. Keep your fingers crossed. I've gotta go. and finish packing. I'm uncontrollably excited this morning because we have a before hours meeting with TIM HOLTZ! Color me STAR STRUCK! OMG!!!!!!!!
