New challenge - Christmas - Anything Goes


 I used the following products to make this card



Tim Holtz stamps, Santa's Wish

Starburst Stains Holiday Wreath set

Distress Inks On the main image

Moonglow Embossing Powder Holly Berry Red Gold  to make the 2-tone red/gold heart embellishment, which was then stamped with Aspect of Design 62 Artistic Elements  with heart wings stamp

Nestie: Classic Scalloped Heart I cut the heart embellishment with thick card, the thickest I could cut with my nestie

Nailheads



White Webbing Spray over the Starburst Stain background, (this is only available at the shop as we cannot post the aerosol spray).



The picture below shows the embellishment that I've built up with about 2-3 layers of of the embossing powder.  When using more than one layer of Moonglow EP you really get to see the 2-tone effects.


 Finally a picture of the white webbing spray, it really stands out from darker backgrounds

  1. Love this. Any tips for making embelishments made from embossing powder postal proof so they don't arrive broken?

  5. Thank you for your comments ladies.

    Kate, if I am posting a UTEE piece I usually put a piece of bubble wrap over it, if it is a large piece you really need to use thick card as your base. I've posted quite a few to my family and they have got there OK with bubble wrap to protect them. Hth!!
