Hi everyone. It's time for the September Rudolph Challenge that runs Jan-Nov. from 25th to end of month with Anything Goes Christmas.
I made this card last month while having a Zoom play day with my friends Susan and Christine. We wanted to learn about how to use the new Embossing Glazes from Tim Holtz. The card above uses a new-to-me stencil Christmas Snowflake Stencil (Sweet Poppy), with embossing paste swiped over top. While the paste was still wet, I added the Speckled Egg Embossing Glaze and heat set. When wet and heated, embossing paste bubbles and bursts to create a different look. I love how the snowflake ended up being both speckled egg and white. And I love the shine from the glaze. I added a tiny black sentiment banner with rubbed on white sentiment. The ying and the yang of large image and small sentiment really work together well!

Beautiful color and sheen, and I do love the large snowflake with teeny sentiment. Perfection!
ReplyDeleteWow, I thought this was a die cut snowflake Loll! It is gorgeous and I can't believe it is a stencil. Such a beautiful look you got with your embossing paste, glaze and heat-it is just stunning for sure. I love the small sentiment going across the middle, definitely the ying to the yang. Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteA stunning snowflake, Loll, but don't let it snow just yet. ;) Thank you so much for sharing with the Rudolph Days Challenge.
ReplyDeleteLinda, DT
Your CAS stencilled/paste/glaze snowflake is awesome Loll --- I really thought it was a die cut - gorgeous card, hugs Robyn
ReplyDeleteThis must be precious in person. I love how you used the glaze over the embossing paste. I've had them in my drawer for a while and haven't played with them yet. You are definitely giving me the motivation to do so. Gorgeous! xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful snowflake card, Loll! The color, the shine, and the texture of the big snowflake is fabulous and the tiny black sentiment is a wonderful accent.
