Gold

Many of you may know I recently became a Design Team Member at Happy Little Stampers (HLS)for their Anything Goes With a Die challenges. So I was very excited to also receive a place on the HLS Christmas Challenge Design Team too!

For my first challenge for July I have created this card. The theme is GOLD.

I diecut three baubles from gold mirri card and glitter adhesive paper. The dies I used are from Crafters Companion and Marianne Creatables.

I attached the baubles and then hung them with gold sparkly ribbon.

The sentiment was heat embossed using WOW! Gold Detail Embossing powder and mounted onto mirri card.

I believe its never too early to think about Christmas crafting so pop over to the challenge for some inspiration and to enter your own creation!

Challenges I am entering are :

Ike's World - Christmas in July

Inky Chicks - Christmas in Summer

Crafty Boots Challenge - Christmas in July

The Paper Players - Christmas in July

Christmas Cards All Year Round - Anything

Crafty Hazlenuts Christmas Challenge - Anything

Heat Embossing

This piece was one of the many I made for WOW Embossing Powders as part of their Design Team. I cut mount board into squares before using different embossing techniques on each. On some I triple embossed and dropped beads into the melted powder, I altered the metal embellishments with the powders and also stamped into the powders while they were still hot.

I am entering this into the following challenges

Fabulous Fridays - Embossing

Inspire Me Fridays - Anything Goes

Make It Monday - Anything Goes
