I'm super excited today to share a card I created for the first ever Festive Friday Challenge! When I first heard about this new challenge, I just knew I had to join. The Festive Friday Challenge gives you a few options to include in your submission: a holiday, an element, or you can do both. Not only are there options for your creations, you can earn points for prizes! How cool is that?
For this card, I wanted to include both:
Paper:
I started with a standard A2 (4 1/4 x 5 1/2) card base of Basic Black, to which I added a panel of Melon Mambo CS (4 x 5 1/4). My focus panel is Shimmery White CS (3 3/4 x 5), which I absolutely adore because of the subtle shimmer it has. It really makes an impression in person, it's so lovely.
Inks:
Powder Pink, Melon Mambo, Sweet Sugarplum, Versamark
Stamps:
Bloomin' Love, Sure Do Love You, Wood Words
After doing a watercolor wash of Powder Pink with my Aqua Painters, I stamped the biggest heart (from Sure Do Love You) in versamark ink and heat embossed with silver embossing powder. I added the other hearts in Melon Mambo and Sweet Sugarplum. I used an embossing marker to add the tiny dots which I also heat embossed, as well as the sentiment and banner from Bloomin' Love.
And of course, I had to add a little sequins for some pizzazz, and these are from the Metallics Assortment.
Thanks for visiting today :)

Beautiful, Nina! I LOVE the water colored background. It's the perfect backdrop for the embossing and sequins. Thank you for joining us for the first Festive Friday challenge!
