Stempel Spass

Hi Everyone, its challenge time at  House of Cards ! This month theme is Bokeh technique. Mynn created a nice tutorial on the HOC blog to show you how to do this. and there will be other tips and tutorials throughout the month form your fabulous DT! Here is my card: I made a watercolor background and once it was dry I sponged white pigment ink on top of it using a home made stencil in which I punched various sized holes. Really easy - just a bit time consuming. But the effect is well worth it! I used a stitched frame to cut my bokeh panel to size. I added the gold foil die cut sentiment and heat embossed the rest of the sentiment on black card stock (added foam tape to give it some dimension).  Added gold foil sequins and gold thread.

Cuttlebug Mania's challenge is anything goes with embossing, whereas Jingle Bells has "tic tac toe " this week. I went with the top row - snowman, glitter and embossing.  The stamps are from Rubber soul. I fuzzy cut the snowman and propped up the different layers with foam tape to make it 3-D. The nose is paper-pieced. The embossing folder is from Cuttlebug. I smeard some Stickles on top of the snowflakes to add the glitter. Addicted to CAS has a Holiday theme and I am submitting this card to that challenge as well. And Dynamic Duos has black and light aqua with optional embossing - I hope they can forgive me the orange nose..... Simon Says has MONOCHROMATIC as a theme ans yes, there is that orange nose , but one of their DT members also featured snowmen with orange noses, so I guess I'll get by....
