Here is the card that I am sharing with you today -
I have to say that this card gave me a lot of grief :( I was trying something new from my stash - Ranger Gold Tinsel embossing powder. This takes a bit of trial and error. Well it did for me lol. Because it is a combination of embossing powder and glitter, you have to be careful that you don't get more glitter than embossing powder when you sprinkle it onto your sentiment/image. The only way I could try and get a decent mixture is shake the bottle first and then hope for the best. I'm sure it is only me that has this problem....
After I stamped the 'Merry' from the HLS Everyday Sentiments set, I used my embossing pen to add ink where I wanted to partly emboss. I didn't get the best coverage on the first try so I just repeated what I did and it turned out pretty well. The holly is from the HLS Christmas Joy set which I coloured then covered with clear wink of stella. A few splats finished this off :)

Darnell is well known in blogland for her witty and fun blog posts. Not only that but she is an amazing cardmaker! Once again, Darnell is someone that I met in the UK for the HLS Craft Retreat. Darnell flew all the way from the US of A to be part of the retreat. We had a fantastic weekend together. I loved meeting her and we have memories that will last a lifetime.
Darnell, I love this card! All that sparkle is so pretty! Darnell has used the Big Bold Numbers from HLS and has used them beautifully!!!
I have wonderful sponsors joining us!
Thank you Darnell for helping out with the inspiration today.

I think you navigated your way through the trial-and-error phase, Kylie: this is one gorgeous card with the pretty shimmery sentiment, flanked by the lovely red and gold strips and paired with the fabulous holly! Embossing powder and glitter...intrigued! Darnell's card, with her 'schparkly scheen' is simply fantastic!

DeleteAnother beautiful card, Kylie! I love all of the sparkle on your sentiment, and your splatters on the background are perfect for this card! Thanks for letting us know to shake the bottle...I'll have to try it with mine :)
ReplyDeleteIt's okay, Aileen, I would also thaw you out if you were frozen, lol! Thank you, Kylie, for asking me to be one of your designing friends for your Twelve Days Challenge! And thank you for your very kind words; it was a pleasure to meet you, too! I love the rosy gold look of the Merry on your pretty card today! The whole design looks like a beautiful bound book with a heartwarming Christmas story inside!! Hugs, Darnell
