December has arrived, and it's time for a new set of challenges at Happy Little Stampers.
The December Christmas Challenge is Anything goes with an optional twist of stencil.
I went for the twist in a new-to-me way. I used the Inked Stencil Dry Embossing technique that you can check out HERE. For the background, I inked the Hero Arts Festive Star and Bauble stencil with Delicata Golden Glitz ink and ran it through my Cuttlebug. The sentiment is done with Winnie & Walter's In A Word: Joy Cutaway and PTI Luxe Gold Adhesive paper along with part of a sentiment from Impression Obsession Clear Stamps Peace On Earth set.
The winner for this challenge will receive a $20 coupon to spend at the Happy Little Stampers shop! Check out all the details HERE.
Please head on over to the Happy Little Stampers December Christmas Challenge and check out the gorgeous creations by the Design Team. Soak in some inspiration and create a holiday card and link it up in the gallery for a chance to win!

This looks amazing .... love the background xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous background for that awesome big bold beautiful sentiment. So stylish in all it's gold glory Stephanie.
ReplyDeletePS Thanks for the Link to the Technique Stephanie. What a fabulous idea. Have now added it to my Watch Later Videos.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, I love the background!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful background! The idea that the background and sentiment were in one color is great. It looks as if your sentiment emerged from golden tangles, as if it grew out of them. A great card.
ReplyDeleteFantastic job with this background technique, I really love the shiny, festive look of this!
