This card was made for Pals Paper Arts Challenge #16. The challenge was to make a Christmas Cheer card. I took the opportunity to use my new Stampin' Up! exclusive Petals-A-Plenty embossing folder and some Frost White shimmer paint. I love blues and silvers together, and of course Kraft matches everything :)
I wanted to create a foiled-leaf kind of look, so I inked it up with Bordering Blue ink, then sponged a little Frost White shimmer paint over the ink on the stamp before stamping. The Frost White shimmer paint was also sponged over the embossed flowers.
If you have time, you should play along! Challenges are great to help get the creative juices flowing.
