Happy Wednesday!! It's time for another challenge from The House That Stamps. This week the challenge is Christmas with the optional twist: use your favorite technique.
And here is the card I created:
I had a bit of a hard time coming up with a favorite technique at first, and then once I started I had a hard time deciding on one! I finally decided to go with heat embossing as I have been doing a bunch of it lately. It is just so magical watching that powder melt!! A couple weeks ago, my fellow Rock Star, Patti created a card using this stamp and she highlighted the scarf, hat and bird with red ink. I really liked how it looked and I decided to recreate that using red embossing powder on the scarf only. The rest of it I embossed with silver embossing powder. I do love that pop of red; it's really fun! It took some masking and a lot of hard pressure, but I think it was worth it. I heat embossed the sentiment with silver as well, die cut the panel with a stitched rectangle die and brushed on some white ink around the edges. I would have liked it to be more sparkly with maybe some glitter embossing powder, but I didn't have any. Maybe another time.
Thanks for stopping by! Make sure you head on over to The House blog to see what the rest of the Design Team has done with this challenge. And if you "need" any of the stamps I used, check out my 10% off your entire order coupon code over in my lift sidebar.

Like your beautiful embossed twist on Patti's lovely card! Our team is such a great group and so inspiring!
Darling card - heat embossing is something I do all the time, so I don't consider it a "technique" for me. It's a matter of survival for coloring inside the lines....LOL. Happy Holidays!
The heat embossing looks great on the dark card, I'm a big embossing fan, especially if I need to colour in, thanks so much for sharing and joining in with our December theme at We Love Stamping challenge.
