Day 6 of Christmas Projects

Today I wanted to tell you about the card I showed in the Part 2 of the Bow Easy post.
Here is the card

This is a 6 x 6 card. I used a number of techniques and that is why I thought I would give it it's own posting. The techniques I did are stitching with floss, rub on stitching, Cuttlebug dry embossing, Metallic Rub Ons, Bow Easy, UTEE & Glitter embossing, white Uniball signo pen, scalloped scissors and ink distressing.




This picture shows a close up of the ornament where I used the Utee. I took some red glitter and mixed it in with some of the clear Utee. Then heat gun and repeat. You end up with a clear dome but with glitter added. You can also do this with regular Clear embossing powder. It is a fun and cool looking little trick.

In this picture I am hoping to show you the Cuttlebug design on the Cranberry CS. After I did the embossing I took my Metallic Rub Ons and using the Gold went over the raised area giving it some highlights. Also you can see the zigzag rub on stitching, and the "Merry" done using a CTMH alphabet stamp and floss.

This is the Metallic Rub On product. I have had this for sometime originally buying it at a local Stamp store. I am not sure if it is still around but I thought if I showed you what it looks like you might be able to find it. It is a fun product to use.










Now for the directions in case you want to make your own Merry Christmas card. All CTMH products except where stated.
