Christmas time, Paper players #421


Ohhh boy!  I am a desk top computer kinda gal.  I have not one but 2 laptops, but I really don't enjoy using them.  I have everything set up on my desktop just how I like it.  But it's over 8 yrs old, although I had it built for me with everything top end, it's now starting to have problems, so I took it to someone to reformat the hard drive, when they started to boot it to work on it, the fan for the processor had quit working, so now I'm waiting for a new fan before I can have my baby back. 


So I took some time away from all things computer and made a card for the Paper Players current challenge.  This set, Snow is glistening, is now unavailable, at least it was suppose to be.  But it was so popular, it would be a shame if it didn't show up again.  You can check the numbers and see if it's still there. 

My colors of course are white, black and Gold.  I used the Whisper white craft ink for my snow and snowflakes and gold ink pad for the gold embossing.  Using a color will let you see your embossing and makes putting the powder on much easier. 

Here is the challenge, come on over and see the other projects.

Thanks for stopping by.

Pretty snowflake Christmas card, Just Add Ink #433


Just Add Ink had a color challenge this week.  Blueberry Bushel, Lemon Lime Twist and Berryburst.

Now, I ask you, does this scream Christmas to you? NO?  Yeah, well, me either, but I am on track with my Christmas cards so, you see my result.   The hardest one was Lemon Lime Twist. It's green so I guess it could be used for Christmas but..........   So, I kept it to the little Glimmer dot in the center of my snowflake.   The top layer snowflake is from the new Galvanized Metallic Paper, it's awesome, really looks like metal.  You need some of that for future man cards, yes?

So, I took the 2nd largest snowflake and cut it out of plain paper, not cardstock, then used it with a soft brush by putting just  a touch of temp glue on the back side so it wouldn't slide around.  Lightly went over the top of my ink pad with the brush, the very gently brushed color over the template you created.  You can do that as many times as you like for your look.


I then layered my snowflake added my Glitter dot and the Merry Christmas from Timeless Tidings.
I have to admit that I actually got some inspiration from a card I saw done by Tatiana Creative.

I hope you enjoy.
