We're halfway through the CAS Watercolour November Challenge!
My but time flies!
(other than a sentiment)
I pulled out a background piece that had been done by sprinkling with Brushos
and spritzing with water. I added a little Inka Gold smoosh to it too.
I stamped it with the Christmas Background stamp using my MISTI.
I heat embossed the stamping then placed it back in my MISTI and stamped
and embossed again. That gave it a nice thick embossing that showed better with
the dark background.
I cut off some of the piece because it was a bit bigger than I wanted.
I die cut the tallest tree from the leftover piece to put on the inside.
The trees are die cut several times and stacked for dimension.
(I used some snippets of Neena to put behind the Glimmer.)
I hope you'll add some text to a card and share it with us at

Dont fall out of your chair....I finally have some time to visit some blogs! LOL I love this card! Our minds must be on similar wavelengths...look at my post today. I love your background and those shimmery trees!
ReplyDeleteStunning, love those trees against the blues! x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful background for your lovely card, Bonnie.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Bonnie! I may have a card to submit.... if the light here improves enough for me to take a pic!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous background, Bonnie - perfect for your glittery trees!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous card Bonnie and such a bright and pretty colour and I adore your glittery trees too. x
ReplyDeleteLOVE that scripty heat embossed background Bonnie. The white really pops off the dark blues from your brushos and inka gold. So pretty and shiny! Love the sparkle from the glitter trees too. xx
ReplyDeleteBonnie, this one is exquisite! Love, love, love that background of Brushos and embossed script! I like that you were able to emboss, then stamp and emboss again! Any time I pulled something out of the Misti and put it back in it was off. Those trees- GORGEOUS! Off to Frantic stamper now to put them in my wish list!
ReplyDeleteWonderful glowing background with the sparkling dimensional trees. Good tip about the restamping/re-embossing with the Misti. Never tried that after the 1st emboss, but tfs that great idea. It's a lovely card, and how you remember what you've done on previously made backgrounds...amazing!!! Hugs
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely STUNNING Bonnie! I love that white embossed script on the darker blue background, and your sparkly trees just really pop too! Love everything about this card!!! :0)
ReplyDeleteYeeep! I am aswoon over this bright and glorious design, Bonnie!! Those white trees are the BEST against that brilliant Brusho background!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteYour Brushos background was perfect, Bonnie for your heat embossed Christmas sentiments background. Your blue inking with a touch of Inka Gold was beautiful way to highlight your white die cut tall trees. TFS my friend. Hugs, Nancy
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning card - I am glad I am not the only person who double embosses now we have the MISTI!! Love your trees, they are so eye catching.

This is absolutely stunning Bonnie. The background is gorgeous and I like the way you've built up the trees. I've just only started using my misti but wouldn't have thought to heat emboss twice! Thanks for the tip. Barbxx
ReplyDeleteLovely! I am such a sucker for that color of blue! Really beautiful arrangement too.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite mix of blue, white, and sparkle - love this!! Great text stamp (I might have to look for it). And the scored background lines frame it so well.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving those tall pines. hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeletelooks wonderful...love the variation of colour with the blues! (of course!!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great background for those glittery trees!
ReplyDeleteBonnie this is absolutely gorgeous - I love the white embossing with the brilliant blues!
ReplyDeleteWow this card is gorgeous and possibly my favorite of all I have seen of your cards. The blue is beyond gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI love the background and white embossing. It's so beautifully fits together!
