CAS Christmas Mid Month Reminder - Sparkle and Shine

Hi Everyone, it's time for CAS Christmas Mid month reminder, our wonderfully talented host Hideko wants' us to add some sparkle and shine on our cards. 


I've used some deco foil stuck to the card using the heat embossing method with a Magenta bird house on a winter branch stamp. I stamped the card using Versafine Clair Nocturn and heat embossed with clear embossing powder then run through the laminator to foil it.
I stamped the Magenta sentiment in Versafine Clair Nocturn.
I hope you join us and make a few Christmas cards to add to your stash.




Card Recipe
Stamps: Magenta
Paper: 110lb white
Ink: Versafine Clair
Accessories: Clear Embossing powder, Laminator, Deco Foil

What a beautiful foiled image, Christine! The birds are so cute, and the colors and shine are awesome! I tried this technique some time ago, but I remember I was not able to get my foiled image as clean and clear as yours. Thanks for inspiring me to try the technique again! :-)
