Can you see the shimmer on the card? Hard to photograph, but very cool in person. - The card base layer is close to cocoa embossed in the Big Shot with a Texturz plate.
- Then I used the very cool new product Shimmer Paint in champagne mist. But instead of just brushing on a little, I sponged the whole darn piece of cardstock!!
- For the cross I used the kissing technique. Inking up the cross from the stamp set Refuge and Strength in certainly celery (always start with the lightest color), I then inked the small branch in close to cocoa and stamped it onto the cross stamp. After a quick huff, I stamped the cross onto the whisper white cardstock. This technique creates an interesting, aged sort of look.
- Then, of course, I had to sponge a little shimmer on top! However, it just looks kind of grainy in the picture. Trust me, it's pretty in person!
Have a great Monday and thanks for stopping by!

Since I had my In Colors and Autumn Days stamp set still out from Cards of the Month Club I used them for today's card. This is a standard A2 size, using US sketch #21.
cardstock: Dusty Durango (orange color), Crushed Curry (yellow color), baja breeze (retired blue color), Whisper White
You can see the velcro that holds it closed. In case you were wondering, I did get them each 2 boxes. I never learn! I was thinking it would last a few days since 1 is Everlasting Gobstoppers. But I think they finished them off today!!
This is what Christie will receive since she won $20 during my Facebook Fan Appreciation Giveaway last weekend.
It's been awhile since I've shown a Christmas card so here you go! The following Stampin' Up! supplies are what I used. 
The club page is also fixed, not all off center--darn Facebook badge did something crazy to the page. So I really didn't spend all week in that hammock, just busy with "behind the scenes" work! ;)

The Jackpot series worked perfectly for this I think. The additional cardstock is basic black, very vanilla, and riding hood red (left over from last season's In Colors). The only stamping is the center image and I used Staz On for a crisp print.
As always, the kit will include everything to make 5 cards along with their envelopes. You can come to the local workshop or assemble the kit at home. Yes...they will have an early fall theme.
It has taken me a week to get this all together. Here are the "rules"
