WT502 = Cathy asked us to use dry and heat embossing. I heated embossed my image after dabbing on some acrylic paint before stamping it. I did a narrow strip of Swiss dot with a CB folder.
HYCCT1423 = Debbi's challenge was to use tissues/tissue paper. I have some gold tissue paper and decided to go "elegant". I used the faux silk technique which I had never done before.....and liked the results it gave.
This is a card that did not photograph well owing to my poor photography skills. There is a lot of shimmer and some sparkle (from the dull green glitter glue) that really doesn't show......so it goes!!

Wonderful texture on this, Sallie, with the tissue paper. I would have imagined that the gold finish made it quite hard to stamp on but you've done a fantastic job, this is a beautiful stylish card.

OMG, Sallie, this is stunning!! Lovely elegant colouring for a Christmas card, I love how you embossed on one side only and your heat embossed image with the acrylic paint looks amazing! I am definitely going to have to try the faux silk technique as it really does look fabulous!!!
