And To All a Good Night for Merry Monday and Jingle Belles

Today's card is for the Merry Monday Christmas challenge and also for the Jingle Belles challenge. I love this set and wanted to use it and so instead of using the oval shape from the sketch I went more rectangle and just rounded the corners to try and stay close to the sketch.

The Jingle Belles challenge is to use embossing, either dry or heat, and for this card I used both. The image is heat embossed with a dark blue embossing powder and then the 2 panels behind the main image are dry embossed.

Supplies used(all supplies SU unless otherwise noted):
Stamps: Wandering Words
Paper: Early Espresso, Riding Hood Red, Marina Mist, Naturals White, Letters to Santa DSP
Ink: Early Espresso, Riding Hood Red
Accessories: Embossing Powder, Heat gun, Big Shot, CB Swiss Dots EF, SU Snow Burst EF, Round Corner Punch, Scallop Trim Border Punch, sponge, dimensionals

  2. Beautiful card Lisa! Love the pattern paper and the embossing folders. I might have to get that Sunburst. It is so pretty on the blue paper and looks like snowflakes. Also love the blue embossing powder.

  9. oh ♥YUM♥!!! what an awesome take, first of all, on that gorgeous sketch... but then a BRILLIANT use of BOTH kinds of embossing... and also just a flat-out ♥FABULOUS♥ holiday card by anyone's standards! i especially love that stamp and the fact that you inked and embossed it in that lovely BLUE (where i'd've gone for boring old black or brown!) makes it POP soooooo wonderfully well!
