December means Christmas Colors!


Here it is Decemeber already and in the midst of Christmas preparations we have a new color challenge for you at Retro Rubber ChallengeBlog.  It is easy, peasy!  The challenge is traditional colors for your card, tag, or project!



I made a simple layered card using a JustRight stamp from 2014.  I stamped the image twice.  One in Winter Green Versa Color and heat embossed with Verdigris Embossing Powder.  The second in Scarlet Versa color and head embossed with Candy Red Embossing Powder.  The red version is die cut with a circle die, and the green version is die cut with a Scalloped Circle die both by Spellbinders.



The Core’dinations White Wash green cardstock is pressure embossed with Sizzix’s Snow Globe embossing folder.  After a little sanding to bring out the leaves I added irRESISTible in Lady Bug to each of the berries.  I set it aside to dry.

To create the 1/8” embossed border I used adhesive tape and mitered the corners as I applied it to the card base.  Candy Red Embossing Powder was added and then heated.  The layers are adhered together.  The stamped images are adhere with two different thicknesses of dimensional foam adhesive. 

Have some fun and create a Christmas card or two and enter the challenge over at Retro Rubber Blog Challenge!

I am pleased to enter my card in the following challenges:

  5. Wow, Neva! The shimmery embossed details are incredible. Love the border effect... must try to remember that! Mixing the color/embossing of the main stamp is definitely a favorite technique that I love to see and share! Makes quite a statement! Now to pin this.... :)
