Some Dazzling News!

Hello Everyone!

Let me start by sharing some fabulous news!  Monica from Add A Little Dazzle has asked me to join her Design Team!  I am so excited to be a part of this team of lovely and talented ladies.  So without further ado, let me get to my first project using Add A Little Dazzle's Craft Metal Sheets~

Yes, my project is a Christmas card; it is Christmas in July at Add A Little Dazzle this month, and for our first challenge, challenge #32, out challenge is Cards That Move OR Anything Goes.

I found this wonderful tutorial at Splitcoaststampers for this motion card.  It utilizes a tag to slide the window up and reveal the sentiment. 

Here is a side view to have a better idea of the action in this card.

  I made the basic mechanics of the card base, following the above tutorial.  Then it was time to embellish.  I stamped my ornament from the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Vintage Ornament Set in Versanark on Polished Purple sheet metal; I wanted m ornament to look like shiny glass, and this craft metal was the perfect way to achieve this.  I embossed with Stampendous chunky embossing powder and then fussy cut the ornament out.

It was hard to capture the beautiful purple shimmer of the metal; you can catch a glimpse of it here.  I framed the ornament in a Decorative Frame and cut out with its matching die. 
To embellish the card base, I cut a scallop edge from a Brushed Bronze craft metal sheet using a die from the Borders and Backgrounds Die Set and then embossed it in a polka dot ef.  Once it was embossed, I used a stylus on the backside of the metal just to give it a little definition.  Ribbon was all that was needed to finish off this elegant card.

I hope you can join us for this fun Christmas Challenge!
