For the "G" alpha challenge. Icicle stickles shows mainly blue on the shimmery white. I diluted the stickles with water and used a paintbrush to apply and let dry. These new e.f.'s at Michaels are more 2D, and would not work through my big shot, but I did recently buy the Gemini Jr. and that worked. So happy with that new workhorse! Tried various tapes to adhere the dry embossed panel to the blue glitter, which is very thick glitter c.s., to no avail. But Ranger Multi medium matte worked. It is a good glue.. Brushed the Nuvo pen all along the diagonal lines of the e.f. and also on the petals. It adds a subtle silver shimmer. Adhered the flowers with Xtra large glue dots and small glue dots for the turquoise Verve snowflakes & the Ranger glue to secure the silver punched circles in the centers of the flowers. To adhere the tinies around the sentiment, I put a bit of Art Glitter glue onto my craft mat and used a pointed toothpick to dot the glue on the areas and used my Marvy Jewel picker ( a treasured gift from a friend) to place them but still had to use pointed tweezers to hold them down so that I could lift off the Marvy tool. I tell ya, it was laughable and fiddly but I got it done. I am sure this is more info than anyone wants to read, lol. If you got this far, thanks for looking!

I LOVE this card Shirl! I forget that I can use sentiments from one stamp set on a card that does not use that stamp set and you have done so brilliantly here. I adore blue and white for Christmas and this is especially pretty on these fancy poinsettias, in our sentiment and around the edge of the card. The diagonal stripes are really striking here too. I loved your write up and was shaking my head in agreement with you on several things and chuckled a bit on something else (chuckled with you because I have been through the same thing!). This is one fabulous card for the letter G alphabet challenge Shirl. ~Karen.

Gorgeous card for Letter G. Love the sparkle! So pretty. The sentiment fits like a glove inside the embossed circle frame. The poinsettias are beautiful. Great card!

Shirl, what a lovely holiday card. Love that color blue against the white, just pops! The glitter paper background is so pretty too. Someone is going to be very pleased to receive this beautiful card.
