Look Ma, no stamps! This is for the WT106 challenge found here, Forums at Splitcoaststampers *An Image with Punch!* The challenge was to create an image using punches. This card uses 7 different punches- can you find them all? If you give up, check below for the answers!
I created my own version of Faux Suede paper by swiping a Versmark pad on Creamy Caramel CS, dipping into Heat 'n Stick powder, then into White Stampin' Flock. Then I pressed the CS into a Creamy Caramel inkpad. I thought this gave the moose a more realistic, velvety texture. His eyes are black brads and tiny Swarovski crystals. A larger crystal is in the center of the snowflake, which is punched out of white CS covered with Iridescent Ice EP and DD glitter. The *I* in Christmoose is dotted with a large ruby crystal.
The whole card is dusted lightly with spray glue and DD glitter. Could I make a C'mas card without giltter? I doubt it! This is so much more sparkly IRL. I think I will make a simplified version of this for my April CCC07 C'mas cards.
Thanks for looking!
Maddy

Oh this is adorable!!! You have so many creative ideas. I bet the texture and sparkle on this is amazing IRL. I did find all the punches, but wasn't sure which one was used for the ears, just figured they were a punch lol Very creative to cut the heart in half.

This is so cute and clever, Maddy! Love your version of faux suede, and all the glitter and sparkle. I'm glad I'm not the only one who runs out of room in the accessories section. :o) TFS. Linda
