 Hi Everyone, working on increasing my Christmas card pile..... I am playing along with the 52 CCT challenge . The theme is dry embossing.  I took an embossing folder (Mundart Stempel) and Kraft paper. Took some gold gilding polish and gave everything a gold shimmer. Wasn't happy with the outcome and took my brayer and brayered green ink onto one side of the embossing folder and ran it through my Big Shot again (you will have to line it up correctly). I liked that better. Took the tired angel from the Katzelkraft Pabos series , stamped and colored him and cut him out. Die cut my favorite Santa (Dixi Craft) in black. Heat embossed the sentiment and added it with foam tape. Lastly I added Stickles to the halo, the wings and the bottom of the dress. I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting.  Happy Stamping!

    Hi Everyone, This week it's anything goes on the  Topflight blog .  I finally got my hands on this fabulous Christmas Tree. It looks like Swiss Cheese, doesn't it? And guess who loves cheese?  Those pesky rats - you got it! I stamped the tree onto yellow card stock. colored it a bit with Copics and cut it out. marked where the tree ends up on the card and masked and stamped some of the rats. The other rats I stamped on scrap paper and cut them out. Colored them all with Copics. Assembled everything and added the heat embossed sentiment. Added Stickles to the star. This was NOT a quick project - just in case you are wondering about that. Alone the planning out took some time and of course the cutting and coloring. But it was worth it for me - I hope you agree!
