Joan's Garden challenge is back !


Hi, Today's card is for Joan's challenge The following were required.
Use two different Embossing Folders to create a background like in Selma's card. (Directions will be on Selma's blog)Use at least two different dies (preferably not layered dies - if you have them)
Use a sentiment

Use glitter and/or pearls

The embossing folders I used were Sizzix Powder Sugar and Snow Globe Set. I picked up this set last November at the show for $2.00. They don't have the space that Selma's folder has, so I made mine by putting it through top first leaving a space then putting it through the bottom. My dies are TH houses and ticket die from Whimsy stamps. I also used Spellbinders scalloped ovals to highlight the ticket. I sponged the edges of the oval and houses with TH Broken Glass and added stickles as my glitter. Added a ribbon for more color. My sentiment is from last years JustRite Christmas release Christmas Nested Frames and Occasions. My card stock is GKD PL heavy weight white.
Well that is it for now! Gotta get going.

What a pretty card. You did a great job using the two different embossing folders for your background. I like your die cut houses and the way you sponged and added your glitter. Thank you for joining us in the challenge at Joan's Gardens.

This is such a soothing card for the holidays...I love the white with the softness of the blue. Great job on your scene and your choices in folders and dies. Love it!
