Happy Monday, hope all is well in your world.
My muse must be on holiday or a lazy strike, it's been really hard to get enthused lately. So, I'm going to work on making a few Christmas cards using stuff in my bits and bobs stash. This Sheena Douglass embossing folder dry-embossed card front was in there so I pulled it out to use. I colored the sky with a Promarker, added some gel pen snow flakes in the sky, then played around with my new Deco Art Glossy Snow Writer to add snowdrifts to the rooftops and street. After that dried, I layered the embossed card front onto a blue SU card mat the same shade of blue as the sky and added the glitter ribbon trim and round sentiment, which was stamped and heat-embossed, die cut with a Spellbinders circle die and then accented with glitter gel pens. Then that went onto a white A7 card base.
I used this Splitcoaststampers sketch for my layout design.
Stamplorations stamped sentiment inside...
Spellbinder siggie die and SU blue card on back...
And angled shot to show the glitter and shine.
My intention was to have a mostly white card front with some monochromatic blue.
The gold accents were due to the ribbon I chose.
This embossing folder is one of those that I'm not that in love with, but I'll try it one more time coloring it with pencils maybe. Or maybe just use colored card stock. My hand feels crampy just thinking about coloring that, lol.
Thanks for visiting and have a great day.

I love all the glitz and glitter on your holiday card! Yay, you, for getting one done so far ahead of time! Thanks so much for entering your lovely card into our latest challenge at Let's Craft and Create. Cheryl W, DT
I have that same embossing folder. It's an oldie but a goodie. I know what you mean about getting enthused. I think for me it was the heat, and that could be even more true for you. But I am starting to think about more art, and the summer crazies seems to wind down come August. If that makes any sense. I do like your card Aimeslee, and I hope you get your mojo back soon.

OH! Aimes, it doesn't look like you have been in the doldrums with your stamping. It's a lovely card and embossing folder.
