The Glory of Christmas challenge 17


This card was going to be for The Glory of Christmas challenge 17, I've used the lovely Papermania Bauble Decoration stamp.

When I stamped the image for the first card the sentiment 'Christmas Cheer' lost a bit of the 'Cheer' on the bottom edge! I didn't want to waste this so I decided to separately stamp the sentiment and mount it on to silver mirror card to match the piece surrounding the image. Everything was inked with versamark and heat embossed with detail silver powder. A couple of strips of glittery silver on the left finished the card off. This is an A5 landscape card - the image is quite large, so needs a large card blank.

  1. That was a great resue...You do a lot of stamping straight to card...I am always dutifully impressed.

    I can not stamp straight for the life of me. I have a grid block for acrylics, I have a stamping thingy from Fizkars...still crooked...
    So i do a lot of your save today...a separately stamped sentiment and then mount it! lol
