Holidays {Scrapy Land Challenge #62}

Can you believe it's already the middle of the month?  😊  Well, it is and that means it's time for a new Scrapy Land Challenge.  The theme is Favorite Holidays, plus use any brand of die that Scrapy Land sells.

You can find the Product brands here and then take a look at all the New Arrivals (there's over 500 of them!)

For my card today, I created a very soft, pastel looking Christmas card.  It was really hard to choose between St. Patrick's Day, Halloween, and Christmas.  But practicality won out as I send more Christmas cards than both of the other two holidays.  The dies I used are as follows:

Die-Versions: Merry Christmas Sweet Wordlet

Memory Box: Flowering Christmas Tree

Memory Box: Elliana plate

Lifestyle Crafts: Nesting Scallop Ovals (you can find lots of substitutions here)

I dry embossed the Elliana plate and then heat embossed it with Sparkle embossing powder from Sparkle N Sprinkle.  Next I die cut the Christmas Tree and heat embossed it with Belgian Cream embossing powder (also made by Sparkle N Sprinkle).  I then used a few Spectrum Noir Sparkle markers to color the embossing powder.  The ink puddled up on the embossing powder, but when I dabbed it away with a paper towel, it left a light, soft color on the powder.  And that was what I was hoping for.  I also added Nuvo Glitter Drops (Ruby Slippers) to the berries on the tree.

I die cut an oval frame from some older Lifestyle Crafts dies I have, but any nesting oval dies will work for this step.  I adhered this to the background and then added the Christmas Tree in the center.

I die cut the sentiment from white cardstock and applied more Spectrum Noir Sparkle markers for a bright pop of color.
