CASology, Make it Monday, ColourQ and CAS-ual Fridays



Happy Saturday everybody.  If you are looking for my Lawnscaping Winter Blog Hop post, scroll down or just click here








Today I have a card for this week's CASology challenge, where the key word is Snowflake.  I used the technique highlighted in this week's Make it Monday #144:  Heat Embossing Vellum. I am also entering this card in CAS-ual Fridays CFC 123:  Let it Snow.

I channeled my 'inner Ardyth' to make this square card, featuring a snowflake die cut from dark navy shimmer paper.  I cut the snowflake out of the front panel, adhered the stamped vellum sentiment over the opening, filled the opening with a dark navy shimmer snowflake, and popped the front panel up with foam adhesive.




Here is a closer look at that shimmery snowflake.







Now, for another tag set--this one using colors from this week's ColourQ cQc #219 and City Scene.  The two buildings are stamped right on the tag, and the tree is a die cut piece adhered with a dimensional dot.  I used Ranger Black Sparkle embossing powder on Santa's sleigh, and it is very glittery in person.









Thanks for Visiting

  11. Hi Joyce! I came here through MIM's vellum embossing to view your stunner of a navy snowflake. Shimmery and perfectly done, as usual, and then I see the city tags. So much sweet detailing on these. Wish I'd ordered that set, especially after seeing your tags!
