CAS198 Merry and Bright

Photo Details

Poster: CAKath

Today we have a wonderful quote for our inspiration. I've been working on Christmas cards and had this EF on my desk. So I decided to emboss the scene in deep blue and accent with white and glitter. I colored each snowflake with a white gel pen and then stickles. I sponged over the embossed images to make them pop for the photo. The sentiment is embossed in white ep.

Thanks for viewing and commenting.

Great card! Nice crafting and details. Reminds me of the Christmas laser-light shows my late-husband and I went to at the Planetarium.

Sponging the embossed image was such a great idea, Kathy! It looks like there is a swirl of snow and it's so blustery cold out there in the night! Love the stickles and snowflakes!
