My first card was made using the debossed side of an embossing folder and then using Cosmic Shimmer Opel polish in Blue and Silver across the top. I mounted it onto an A5 card base and added the Merry Christmas die cut.
My second card was made using a piece of left over acetate packaging which I added some green Alcohol ink to the reverse side and then some glitter. I then stuck some crumpled up tissue paper to the reverse. I was never happy with the finished result and didn't use it. Some time later I looked at it again and added some green paint to the back and got something that I was happier with. I'm quite please with the result that I've managed to get with this card. Again I added to an A5 card base with some mirri card and finaly the die cut Merry Christmas.
I'm sure that many of you have extra time on you hands with self isolation at the moment, make a Christmas card and come and join the fun at the Rudolph Days Challenge. Maureen has got a great prize for the winner who is picked at random. If not a Christmas card then rummage around your scraps and make a card, you can than join in the fun over at Pixies Snippets Playground Di always has a great prize for whoever is picked at random. You'll find the rebels behind the bike shed.
Thanks you for taking the time to visit and your kind comments which are always appreciated.
Keep safe and well

Love both cards - layering up the letters on the die cut really makes the sentiment stand out

Two wonderful cards, Sue! I think the way you did the sentiment and the embellishments around them looks fab. Really makes them pop.
Have not tried that opal polish stuff yet, but did pick up a jar of it and planned to give it a try soon!
Thanks for taking part in the March Rudolph Days Challenge.
