World Cardmaking Day

I was able to steal away a little time in my craft room today and celebrate World Cardmaking Day!  

 As of late, I have been getting my creative 'prompts' from challenges at SCS.  I combined 2 challenges today- one is a Christmas card color challenge open for Fan Club members.  The other was the Free for all Challenge- asking for a Stenciled, Sparkly and Shiny card. 

 I have 2 containers of Cosmic Shimmer Gilding Flakes, so popped open a multicolor gold and went to town.

  I cut out the nativity die from Die-Versions and have applied double sided sticky tape to both sides.  The gilding flakes were applies and burnished.  I added Glue through a Sizzix stencil and added some gold dots to the top, and then after cleaning the die, went over the entire black card using a metallic silver ink. 

 I drew and cut out the gold star, and added the sentiment from Sizzix Alterations using the same method as the above die.  

 I added a very thin strip of black shimmery Washi at the top and at the base of the card. 

 I may have to make a few more like this, I am loving this look- so much prettier IRL!!!

Challenges- TBA

Thanks for stopping by!
