Embossed Christmas Card ~ Color Dare #570

 Well it's time for a new color challenge from our team at Color Dare! This one is easy....or is it? You decide! We're giving you 4 colors of which you must use at least 3. There are some fine print rules so check the graphic out.

We reference Close To My Heart colors but you can use any brand you have as long as you can make a very close match. Kind of close doesn't count. Make any paper craft you like. When you're ready to join our challenge click here for the direct link to Color Dare #570.

I love these colors together and envisioned how pretty they would work for this embossing folder/stencil design. I love the softness of color with this card. What do you think?

First I embossed the background. Next came the stenciling. Just lay the stencil over the embossed images and use Blending Brushes to add the colors. Both the embossing folder and stencil can be used alone but adding them together gives an even greater dimension to your work.

Next I used the Thin Cut die from the stamp set to cut 2 of the large flowers. I stenciled lightly and edged with the Ballerina ink. I curled the petals and popped it up on Thin Foam Tape. A few sequins and some Glitter Paper added to the whole look.

Close To My Heart products used for this card:

• White Slimline Cards and Envelopes
• Cardstock: White Daisy, Mink
• Exclusive Inks: Journey, Ballerina, Glacier
• Specialty Paper: Journey Glitter Paper
• Journey Loose Sequins
• Tools: Liquid Adhesive, Blending Brushes, Thin Foam Tape
