Long time no see! We've been having nothing but fun over here! After a rough start in school Pezza seems to have settled in and we have a grandbaby due in a month! Trevor, his girlfriend Jess and the baby will all be staying with us. EGADS!!!
Since last minute is my favorite way to do things I thought HEY I think I'll make all my Christmas cards this year...RIGHT before Thanksgiving.....Gotta keep things exciting!
The following challenges inspired me:
SCS - Sketch challenge
4 Crafty Chicks - Make It Sparkle
Time Out Challenge - Embossing with sparkle
Since I have to make more cards than I have even figured out yet I wanted to keep it simple and repeatable but I still want some pizzazz so I reached for my jars of gorgeous shimmering Silks Acrylic Glaze.
I started with a white piece of cardstock and just swiped over it with Moss Green for the green cards and Carribean Mist for the blue ones.
The sparkle really comes through at the slightest tilt!
Here is the whole collection for this batch - just 6 or 7 more batches to go!
Have you tried the Silks Acrylic Glazes??? A wonderfully sparkling, versatile, easy to use paint - check them out!

ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful cards! What a great simple layout to help you make them fast. I love the embossing and distressed edging.
ReplyDeleteFantastic Christmas cards! I know what you mean about sparkle showing up. Sometimes it is good and other times it leaves you wondering why the camera doesn't pick it cup! Thank you so much for sharing your marvelous inspiration with us this week at 4 Crafty Chicks Sparkle Challenge.
