Peace & Joy

Happy Sunday!  Now that Halloween is done for another year it is time to get serious about Christmas!  Today a new sketch challenge goes live over at Sunday Stamps and I have my project to share with you.

First, here is the sketch:

...and here is my project:

Christmas card featuring the Many Merry Stars and Good Greetings stamp sets.

This one features the new Many Merry Stars stamp set from the Holiday Supplement.  I heat embossed the images in silver on Brushed Silver card stock for a rather cool metallic look.  I die cut the images using the Stars framelits.  The background layer is embossed using the Lucky Stars TIEF.  I added the strips in varying widths of silver glimmer paper and silver foil sheets. 

The silver cord I wrapped around the star is long-retired, but just perfect for this design.  The sentiment, from the Good Greetings Hostess promotion, is stamped in Basic Gray ink.  I added a few Frosted Sequins for some addtional sparkle.

On the inside I stamped one of the star images again, along with another sentiment from the Good Greetings set and a few more sequins.
We'd love to have you join us over at Sunday Stamps this week!  Give this sketch a try and then link up your project so we can all share in your brilliance ;)
