Sketches always mess with my head a bit. I’m not sure if its because they set an expectation, force me to think a certain way, or what it is exactly. With color challenges – skies the limit – can easily think outside the box. With this challenge though, once I relaxed and let the sketch sit with me for a bit, there was only one thing that I had to do. Christmas lights….. they were looking at me the whole time, making subtle suggestions. Then the light bulb blinked on. Literally! I pulled in the Merry & Bright Bundle and the Christmas Tidings Embossing Folder. I love that the die set has a couple of “light string” choices – so I used both. One inside and one outside. I used the Deckled Rectangles Dies to cut the Basic Black backgrounds – then I ran them through the Christmas Tidings Embossing folder. I really think this is such a cute embossing folder – you will most likely see it in all things holiday. The bulbs are die cut from some scraps I had of the now discontinued, Rainbow Glimmer Paper. The bulb caps and strings are cut from Basic White card with a die provided in the coordinating set. Each bulb is attached to the black embossed background, then I attached the light string on top of the bulbs. I probably could have woven the “string” through the bulb cap openings, but I just came up with that as I was typing, so… missed opportunity. The sentiment also comes from the Merry & Bright stamp set, then I just cut it out with the paper trimmer.. The finished pieces are then attached to the card base with black dimensionals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
