Seeing Stars for Twofer

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

This month's Twofer Challenge is Stars and we have the option of making both into

Christmas cards this month but they still need to be of a different desing.

I used a die that I used for this card.

This time I used the die to dry emboss on this smooshed background.

Before embossing, I inked the edges with VersaMark.

After it was dry embossed, I sprinkled silver embossing powder over top

and heat embossed.

I used the die to cut stars from white cardstock and heat embossed some of the stars

with silver embossing powder then Platinum Sparkle embossing powder before adding

them over the top of the design.  The sentiment is embossed with the silver.

It was the end of the spool of silver twine and I went with the curl.

For card two, I stamped an old flourish stamp and sentiment with VersaMark on a piece 

of textured cardstock and heat embossed with Gold Tinsel Embossing powder.

I wish the photo showed the sparkle.

I've die cut some of the stars from Glimmer paper.

The bows are from a set of dies that a sweet friend sent to me and the 

hangers are some gold sticker strips.

Challenges:
