TLC458 ~ Sparkle and Emboss ~ (12/02/13)

[joan ervin]

Hello everyone...I hope all my American friends had a wonderful Thanksgiving and survived all the Black Friday shopping!!! I only went to one store and regretted it after I stepped out of the car...LOL!!! Anyway....

It's my turn to host this weeks TLC challenge and my challenge is sooo easy yet holds a big punch!! We are going to add a little glitter to embossing powder and emboss an image. It really shows up if you use a lighter embossing powder on darker card stock but use what you have and have fun!!!


My Sample


Merry Christmas

Great idea, Joan!! Terrific way to keep glitter in its place. I made up a "batch" to use on other cards. Thanks.

Here is my card for both Monday challenges. There really is glitter in the red line work but it doesn't show very well in my picture.

Happy Monday all.

I love sparkle and embossing! I finished all my Christmas cards yesterday; they're ready to mail as soon as I go to the P.O. and get the stamps! So, now I can concentrate, once again, on making cards for OWH (Operation Write Home). Here is my first card for OWH Purple Mittens

[shelia]

This was a fun and easy challenge - perfect for this busy season!! I do like the sparkle on my card, though it doesn't show up too well in the pic!!

I did two, using some embossing powder that already had glitter in it. Is that cheating, or just being resourceful? Don't call the challenge cops...

Loved the effect that this gave my card, Joan - thanks for the inspiration! Here is my Red and White and Glitter all Over .

[stampingwriter]

I used a pre-mixed product, because I was in a hurry to get the card in the mail today; but I will try mixing my own. Never thought to do that before.
Here's my card.

[Dockside]

Here is my entry. The photo doesn't show the glitter but really sparkles in the sun.

This is also for the CAS Red and White challenge.

[Cook22]

Yay -I wasn't expecting to get a card made this early in the week!
Here's mine - thanks for a fun challenge, Joan.
I have another circle with a gold snowflake, but I liked the blue better - the Embossing Antiquities powder seemed to give a much crisper embedded image than the gold ep.
