Let there be Red...


This may be Valentine's Day weekend, but I've gone with red and a Christmas card.  A relatively simple card, using a Spellbinder's die to first cut the DP, then some shiny red card stock, and finally the stamped image, all in graduated sizing.    Although it is a little difficult to see, I have heat embossed the stamp with the WOW Sparkling Embossing Powder, for a nice festive look.  Otherwise, theonly embellishments are some snowflake and border peel-offs.  It will fit nicely into an envelope for Christmas mailing!

Winter is still in full force, back on the home front, and i am not missing it one little bit!  I'm sure hoping for changes before month-end when I have to return.  Take care everyone, and stay safe and warm.

Some challenges for my card:
Sweet Stampin Christmas - Only Words   Challenge Winner
Sparkle N Sprinkle - Anything Goes with Glitter
Card Mania - #65 Add Some Red

    This is lovely, the sentiment stamp is gorgeous and what a great one to heat emboss too. The frame is a brilliant idea and the wonderful paper creates the impression of a picture hanging on the wall. Thanks for sharing at CCAYR and Good Luck!! Sarah :0)
