SSCB #38-2 SPARKLE and SHINE!

    

It's hard to believe that it's the middle of December and time for Serendipity's mid month post!  You still have plenty of time to play along. Share with us one of your holidays cards or anything that has a little sparkle or shine using a Serendipity stamp or die! You can find the details to enter on the SSCB.

You probably know how this works by now...the DT is given an extra element added to the challenge...this time it's silver! I have added a little platinum, gold and champagne too!

Serendipity will be having an "After Christmas Sale"

This card was inspired by Tosha Leyendekker with Stamp Talk with Tosh. Her work is amazing and she has such a beautiful style!  You can see her gorgeous card  here.


I love gold, silver and platinum used together. I have taken the beautiful  Mistletoe image from Serendipity and heat embossed it in platinum. The oval die cut and dp were edged in silver with a Krylon pen. A gold pen and creamy brown Cat's Eye chalk was used to edge the other papers.


 The berries on the mistletoe were dotted with Viva Glitter Liner which gives them a subtle silvery shimmer! I've colored the silk ribbon with Copics to match the metallic  paper.



Thanks for looking and Happy Holidays!
