My 2nd card in celebration of the SCS Clean and Simple 200th Challenges and in particular, the CAS200PARTYF 'Inspired by a song' challenge. My song inspiration is "Rudolph the red-nosed Reindeer" because it is one of my favourite Christmas songs. See this link for the deets on this challenge: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/fo...f-t565617.html There are LOTS of different CAS Challenges to mark the 200th occasion that you can play in. Check them out here and go and have some fun: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/fo...le-cards-f239/
This is also my 2nd card for the SCS 'Ways to use it Challenge' WT404 where you need to make a card or project using your favourite things. I have used all my favourite things on my card: Dasher, Cuttlebug, embossing folder, bling, twine (what did I do before twine??), edge punch, satin pearl embossing powder (love how it looks and prefer it to just clear glossy ep) and my Scor-Pal (the BEST tool EVER!). See this link for the deets on the challenge: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/fo...a-t565475.html
I stamped my favourite Stampin' Up! stamp "Dasher" with Colorbox Sapphire Silk pigment ink, poured on some Satin Pearl embossing powder and heat-set it with my heat-gun. I added a tiny Basic Grey red rhinestone to his nose so of course, now Dasher has become Rudolph.
I added a Scor-Pal line above and below the image and the bottom border was dry-embossed with my Cuttlebug using a border folder from the Sizzix Textured Impressions Christmas Set #6. I love how the swirls in the embossing tie in with the swirly antlers of Rudolph.
The red cardstock bottom border was punched using an EK Success Scalloped Scallops edge punch.
I added some Fray Stop to the ends of the twine so they wouldn't unravel and look untidy.
That's it! Another card off my Christmas list - yay!
Accessories: CB, Sizzix Textured Impressions Christmas Set #6 ef, red rhinestone, Scor-Pal, twine, white + red cs, heat gun, satin pearl ep, fray stop, EK Success Scalloped Scallops edge punch
