Snow Dreams meets Pearl Ex!
For this Christmas card, I used the Abalone technique from the current issue of the Technique Junkies. It gave me the opportunity to play with my lonely Pearl Ex containers. I have to say it was very interesting to see how the colors work together. I know this may not quite be what the Junkies had in mind, but I knew what I wanted to achieve with this stamp from Scrolls Work . And of course, this is the second card (First card is below)! The first one when all was said and done, I just looked at it and thought I did not like something. The navy background on the first was not embossed and let me tell you, what a huge difference it makes. I used a red glitter pen to the Poinsettia flowers, which you may not be able to see. There is a lot of shimmer to this card and six layers of paper! All papers are Stampin Up. I have to keep reminding myself to do layers. The camera really does not give the colors justice or show the glimmer, but it is there.

The stamp you used really looks nice on your card. You did a great job using the pearl ex. This is one of my favorite SW stamps. I don't have it though.

Beautiful. I love the deep, deep blue.

Wow Terry what an awesome card! Both are great but you are right the embossing makes it a whole different card. This is one of my favorite stamps! ~Diane
Your embossed card is just soooo gorgeous Terry! I think it works really well with the dark blue, perhaps even better than with white! Ira
Beautiful work, Terry!
Beautiful work Terry. I think having the navy bg really works, and of course I do love the embossing folder you used. You did a lovely job with this technique. I agree with you, layering is truly beautiful.
Stunning Terry! Love all the layers and the embossing looks fab behind your image!
Wow Terry, Your so right what a difference it make with the one not being embossed. The embossed one has so much more depth and its GORGEOUS as well!
Love the embossed one Terry - I agree that it really does make a difference. The technique with the Pearl ex sounds interesting, I shall have to explore that one!
WOW.. I love both of them.. Well done. I love the embossing on that first one. Very cool..
