25 cards of Christmas - Day 11 - Baubles

I got the embossing powder out again today to do my take on the bauble card. This is a good way of using up scraps - and of testing out some of the colours of my new powders!

I stamped pieces of green and red card with Christmassy patterns then embossed the snowflake with a fine gold powder, which came out fantastically, and the stripes with a gold glitter. This didn't work nearly as well and I was quite disappointed with it as it had looked more of a solid colour in the pot. It worked okay for this pattern though, at least.

Once the card had cooled I ran it through my die cutter to cut out some circles, then fixed them to the card base with dimensionals. If I'd been feeling more creative I'd have put a piece of patterned paper behind them first, but I was feeling uninspired and in a rush. Ho hum...

To finish the card off I drew on strings from the top of the card to the circles and drew in bows using a gold gel pen, then stamped and embossed the Merry Christmas sentiment in gold.
