So sorry I haven't been around for the last few days - I seem to have been hit with the flu! Lots of aches & pains and fatigue which has definitely sent my mojo off to never-never land!!! Hopefully it'll come back soon - I'm already feeling better today ... :)
Anyways, the challenge over at Winter Wonderland this week is set by our lovely Avril - embossing. Poor Avril is having computer problems so we are missing her wonderful contributions until she gets that remedied.
I decided to not touch my cuttlebug this time for embossing but to show you something different - embossing paste with a brass template. This is such a fun technique and I love the simple and quick results that can be achieved. Apologies for the glare off the acetate on the picture - can't figure out how to edit that properly!! I used the lovely NOEL template and placed it on a piece of acetate (adhered down with masking tape). I used white embossing paste and whilst it was still wet I sprinkled it with glamour dust to get all the sparkle. Leave it to dry for a good few hours.
Th dp is from stash (sorry, don't remember the name) and I used glue dots in the corners to place down the acetate. Flat sticky brads cover the dot!
I hope you like it and be sure to pop on over to Winter Wonderland to see all my teamies fabulous embossed creations this week! I hope you're able to join in with this weeks challenge - we'd love to see you there! There is also lots of new & exciting news from the blog - this challenge will last until April 22nd as our challenges are moving to a FRIDAY - yes, FRIDAY!!!
I'm also going to enter this into Totally Gorjuss which has texture for their challenge this week.

Wow... awesome! Your on top of your game with Christmas cards! Feel better!
What a great idea to use the brass template for the NOEL. I just love this white glitter...It reminds me of snow! I have some of those templates, I am so glad you gave us some inspiration to bring those back out to play with! I REALLY hope you are feeling much better soon!
I love the simplicity of the card - though I don't know if I could be patient enough to wait for the paste to dry!
So pleased you are feeling a little better.
I wish someone would let us know how to get rid of the glare, there must be a way !!
Gorgeous as ever your card, all your Christmas cards will be done at this rate.
Oh sorry to hear that your not feeling to good, hope that turns around very quickly, we would not want you to miss out on crafting time.
I love this effect, not seen this type of embossing before, must go and investigate.
