Oh boy, I finally get to pull out my new (to me) emboss folder. I've had it for some time but just haven't used it until today. The perfect challenge popped up at: Merry Monday Christmas Card Blog we are to use light posts. So of course here it is. I sponged all the raised areas, and cut out the middle of the lamp to place a piece of yellow card stock behind it. I also punched out a bow to add to the embossed one to give it a bit more dimension and then embellished it with a red sparkle brad. I finished it off with a Christmas Sentiment.
I thought this tree was fabulous today against the very blue background it just seemed to say "winter" to me, even though I'd prefer Summer.

ReplyDeletePJ Love how you used your embossing folder for the challenge. The cut out sections in the Lamp are very on trend at the moment. Thanks for playing at Merry Monday this week.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty embossing folder and lovely card you have made with it. Thanks for joining us this week at Merry Monday.
ReplyDeletePJ, first thank you for your sweet comment on my shaker card for MM...your is brilliant!! Love the shading you did with that beautiful wreath and what a clever idea to cut out part of the lamp to allow a yellow glow shine through!! Thank you for sharing this and playing along with us at Merry Monday!
ReplyDeleteI fell in love with this card when I saw it on Facebook. I like how you cut out behind the lantern and put yellow behind it to resemble the light! You won't have to make any Xmas cards this year!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. Love the wreath framing the lantern.
