Stampin'Up!s Jolliest Time of the Year at PPA15

I hope you enjoy this week's cards for the Pals Paper Art challenge. The challenge this week is a color challenge using Taken with Teal, Ruby Red, and Gray. I chose Stampin'Up!s Jolliest Time of the Year and the Holiday Lounge Designer Series paper for my cards.

The hardest part of the card was embossing it. I first embossed the Christmas tree balls with a Versamark Pen, Heat & Stick powder, and Fine Supernova Stampin' Glitter. Then, I embossed the garland around the tree and at the base of the tree with the Versamark Pen, Heat & Stick powder, and Iridescent Ice Stampin' Emboss powder. Embossing in layers or steps kept my colors from mixing. The picture doesn't do it justice but, I love the glitter on this little tree.

And of course all my trees have to have stars at their tops so, I pulled the little star stamp from the Patterened Pines Hostess set and embossed it in gold.

The drawings on these stamps are adorable. I look forward to using them often this Christmas.

God Bless,
