Wondrous Christmas

Hi bloggers!  I've been having a little play time with the Tied Together folder this past week so I thought I would show it off.  I think I can even be so bold as to say if I were forced to pick just one single embossing folder to use (heaven forbid! LOL) but I would absolutely pick this one.  It always looks nice with whatever you put it with and I just love using the PVA glue to dot the intersections,!  This is also a little sneaky peek at the Frosty Forms set that is on my next shows which are on Wednesday this week (the 19th at 8am, 11am  on C & C and 3pm on Ideal World).  I really like the way this one came out, very non traditional but blingy just the same.  After I embossed my background with the folder, I tore two pieces of milk card to form my hills.  I covered them with our sticky self adhesive sheets (which I used scissors to trim to approximate the tear).  I peeled the backing sheet off and covered them with Cosmic Shimmer Luna Silver Mica flakes.  It gives it a snowy but blingy feel which I rather liked.  I cut two of the reindeer from this set, one out of dark brown card and one out of tan card.  I used a little tea dye ink to stencil through the die to bring out the pretty pattern on the reindeer.  I stamped my sentiment using Coffee Archival ink and cut it out with the Holly Motif.  I inked it while still in the die using Tea Dye ink again.  Using a fine tip pair of scissors, I nipped away the scrolly part of the die, leaving just the centre label area.  I cut one more of the Holly Motif using tan card and inked it too with Tea Dye.  I mounted my sentiment a top with mounting foam for dimension and added it to my embossed background.  I matted the entire piece with a tan mat then a final mat of milk on which I pieced the edges.  I added white pearl PVA glue dots to the background to complete my card.  I took the picture of the card for my blog, but I am still thinking of adding a tiny red nose on my reindeer, what do you think?  Too corny?   All for now.
