Holiday Joy - Simon Says Stamp Holiday Sparkle Release

 Hello! How about some more inspiration using the BRAND NEW Holiday Sparkle release from Simon Says Stamp! I shared one card already with this same 3D embossing folder and die combo, and acetate pre-printed sentiments - today I'm sharing another version of it in different colors and mixing up with a previously released sentiment die!

I started off by embossing some Surf Blue cardstock using the new Country Church 3D embossing folder. I trimmed the panel down ever so slightly to fit better on my white A2 cardbase and leave a small border around it. To add a bit of shadow and depth, I used whatever the last ink I had used on my blue blending brush to add a soft vignette around the edges.

And then, because I wanted to give it a winter feel, I added some white splatters with my Amsterdam Titanium White fluid acrylic paint. I set that aside to dry before finishing my card.

As before, I foiled the sentiment from the Bold Christmas Acetate Sentiment Strips - using Deco Foil, and my Pinkfresh Solid Hot Foil Plate. If you want to see how to do that, you can check out this video HERE that I created a while back showing this technique. These sheets are toner based, so normally you would use them with a laminator or Minc machine - I love that I can use my Solid Foil Plate and reduce one appliance in my limited craft area!

I added the die cut Large Joy sentiment die from white cardstock, adhering it with liquid glue and leaving some areas floating free for dimension. I added the foiled sentiment above that, also using dabs of liquid glue hiding behind the foiling.

And this simple card is finished! I would love to hear which version is your favorite - the elegant white one from a couple days ago (you can see it HERE) or this one!
