Christmas Craft Creations is asking for "Snippets" - a card that uses up some scraps. I have a very hard time tossing out any bits of gold or silver shimmer or glitter cs so I have a whole little box of tiny pieces. What better to use them for than stars?
I die cut a whole bunch of stars in various sizes and out of various shades of gold cs. I
took a narrow strip of cream cs (another snippet left over from something else), stamped and heat embossed the
sentiment "Oh starry night", and glued on the various die cut stars. I
added the panel to a mini slimline card base.
My second card is a sympathy card. The Can You Handle the Pressure challenge is asking for dry embossing just on the borders.
I coloured the flower with Tombow markers. I trimmed the panel and carefully placed the embossing folder on the left edge and bottom edge first so that it didn't hit the flower or sentiment and ran it through, and then placed it on the upper right corner and ran it through. I really like the result I got. I popped the panel up on fun foam and added a stick-on pearl to the centre of the flower.
