Mid Month at the Christmas KickStart Challenge

  Hi Everyone, I'm honoured to be Guest Elf for October at the Christmas Kick-Start Challenge #91 -

 

 This month, Jo and I decided on this beautiful colour theme. Such a lovely combination.

 

This is the link to my first card. Loving the colour mix so much, I had to do another for the mid month make. How about you, seeing what you can do with this mix?

I was looking through my embossing folders, for another project, and found this one, that had a plain rectangle centre. Then off I went looking for a Christmas stamp and found one I liked, I hadn't used it before, amongst others not used! Anyhow, I stamped the image and heat embossed in clear powder, then fussy cut it, thankfully a simple cut. I don't think I'll ever like fussy cutting. I coloured the image with DI's, although the photo doesn't give justice to the matching colours of the theme, I used.

Then I embossed the embossing folder as the background, and decided to paint the stars with gold paint. 

I found some bright blue card to layer the embossing on and attached it to the base card, then added the image and sentiment.
