Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #188

  

Welcome to this week's Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge!  I used some PML cards from the CTMH Happy Happy Christmas Picture My Life set.  I also flipped the sketch... I wasn't going to, but when I embossed the wrong side of my "Joy" sentiment, luckily there was one on the other side going the opposite way so I decided to flip the sketch!

I used the Circle Embossing Diffuser to protect the Joy Circle from being embossed.   In this case, I used the plate with the circle cut out... put the card in the CTMH Snowflake Embossing Folder,  placed the Plate with the open circle over the sentiment area, and ran it through my Big Shot... where the open circle was, it relieved the pressure from the Big Shot so it didn't emboss that area.

That pretty pattern was a 4x6 PML card.  I thought it kind of looked like a sweater so I embossed it with my Richard Garay Sweater Embossing Folder (one of my new favorites).  Added some white and gold twine and pinecones from the Oh Deer Scrapbooking Workshop and a couple red bells and a white flower from my stash.

I'm playing along with the Between The Folds Challenge #35 A to use glitter and bling on your project.  I added a snowflake cut from glitter paper using the Snowflakes Thin Cuts and some pretty gold sequins.

And here is the sketch... cock your head to the right and you'll see my card!  Hope you can play along with us this week!  Thanks for stopping and be sure to come back on the 1st for some Paper Sweeties Inspiration!

And don't forget about the Cyber Monday special going on today!
