The challenge at Happy Little Stampers Christmas as ever is Anything Goes and this time with the option of adding Sparkle!
For this card I began with a metal stencil from Sweet Poppy and after taping it to my piece of card, I applied some Pearlescent White Embossing paste, also from Sweet Poppy.
After removing the stencil I sprinkled over some Glamour Dust Gold powder and allowed it to dry. I did toy with the idea of adding a sentiment but in the end opted to leave it as is. It is really twinkly and lots of individual flakes catch the light at different angles.
It does seem odd making Christmas cards at all times of the year, but when the festive season comes it's so good to have a ready supply of cards to send to friends and family. I can thoroughly recommend making Christmas cards ahead of time and Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge is a great place to display your creations.... so do join us!

What a wonderful simple card Chrissie. I really must get round to starting mine or I won't have any to sell when I start selling Christmas items at the markets.
ReplyDeleteSuch a striking card Chrissie, I have seen this stencil before and love it, just wish they were available in Australia! The gold shimmer is gorgeous against the black, Cathy x
