I had so much fun creating my card for this month's Fan Club Christmas Challenge. I stamped the string of lights by Picket Fence Studios with Distress Inks and spritzed with water before stamping on Mixed Media cardstock. I hit it with the heat gun to dry then heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I love rubbing my fingers over the texture! Picket Fence Studios now has coordinating dies for many of their sets which makes creating even more fun. I was super happy how easy it was to line up the die. I thought it might be tricky because of the thin strings but it was quick and easy!

Lovely design - I love the graceful curve of the lights down the side and your CAS look! Those lights remind me of old fashioned ornaments too. Beautifully creative colouring. The embossed shine must look amazing IRL!

I've loved this stamp since the first time I saw it on a card Lydia made! This is awesome Angie! Wish they sold it in Michaels or acmoore! I didn't realize there was a die for it!

Oh, Angie, what a FABULOUS card and great way to do the Christmas challenge! I love your sweet Christmas lights hanging together, and what a gorgeous color "palette" you made to die cut this string of lights! Wow, the colors are so beautiful and flow perfectly. Yes, it's hard to believe that it is nearly the 'tis the season of the holidays! But you are getting ready along with me working on our cards. Beautifully done, sweet friend, as always, and you delight me and all of us with your cards! Hugs and love! xoxo
