Well, this card was a bunch of firsts for me. A first with all that masking (thanks to Laura Bassen), and a first using EMBOSSING PASTE!! Wow. I might just be addicted to adding embossing paste. I need to play with this more.

Isn’t this card fun? I used the gnome from Paper Smooches and some gifts from another Paper Smooches stamp set. The gnome and all those presents had to be masked first before I stamped another one. I thought this gnome was a Santa look-alike.

See the snow there…that’s the embossing paste. It’s actually Ferro in the color “Pearl” because I don’t actually own any white embossing paste yet. Isn’t that funny? I have some silver and gold to play with and haven’t used those yet, either. Next time.

Here you can see the shine from the pearl snow! And I added some stickles glitter to those gifts…in both platinum and gun smoke. I love a glittery bow.
You can also see a bit of Wink of Stella added to his beard.

But you want to know the best part? I took this picture at night in my new light studio box!! Yeow…that looks so bright and light! I think I’m going to have fun with this new present (it’s for Christmas, but I was forced to open it early! Lol.)

This is such a fun card class…see you with another card tomorrow!
