Shining Lights

Shining lights everywhere, it must be Christmas Time.

Here is a fun card I made doing some random embossing on my card front with a rubber mallet.  

  I decided to use two different folders this time to get a variation of textures and design onto the cardstock and I was very pleased at how it turned out.

Here is what I did:

First, I stamped the sentiment from Penny Black in the bottom corner of my white cardstock.  By doing that, I would know where I wanted to place the random embossing.  I placed that into a Cuttlebug Embossing folder (Swiss Dots) then hit it with a rubber mallet.  I took it out then placed it into a different folder and hit it some more to give a pattern within a pattern.  

Next, came the lights.  It is a fun, new die-cut from Penny Black called Sparkle String.

I die-cut the string in black then die-cut the lights in different colours.  I glued it all together then added Glossy Accents over the lights to give them some sparkle and shine.   

 Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
