52 CCT Farewell to 2020 Challenge

It's December and the last challenge for 2020.  This challenge is fun.  Just pick any challenge you want through the whole year!  

I chose Embossing May Challenge for a reason. I had this 3-D Texture Folder from Sizzix Tim Hotz  called Poinsettia.  His 3-D folders are absolutely beautiful!  The deep images are gorgeous.

For this card all I did was brayer Scrapbook.com Metallic Gold onto the side of the folder with the image that dropped in.  Do not do the side where the image pops out.  Stick your paper in and run it through your machine.

Hint: spritz the cardstock (especially if heavy) with water as the paper may tear as it is pressed into the image on the folder. 

You also only need one cutting pad as the folder is so thick.  They suggest running it through up to 3 times but I passed it only once and found it was perfect.

Here I embossed a white cardstock so you can see the beautiful detailed image embossed.

Whew...it has been quite a year and now it's the end of the challenges for 2020. It's also the end of my days as a Design Team Member at 52CCT. 

It has been a really fun 2 years and I am sad to say goodby.  I learned some great new techniques and had so much fun so for that I am very thankful to everyone at 52CCT.  Once life settles down, I plan to come back and just have fun playing along each week.

 It would be fun to see you all come play with us one last time for 2020.  See you there.....52CCT

52 CCT Farewell to 2019 Challenge

It's now December.  Time to wrap up making all those Christmas Cards and get them in the mail.  I have already been receiving cards since the 3rd week of November!  

The last challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown is to pick a previous theme from 2019. I choose to redo the challenge from January 19th....

Have you ever gone out walking in the woods to get your tree or when it was kind of dark from a storm brewing or it is so quiet except the crunch of the snow beneath your feet?  The snow is glistening from the bright moon.  So quiet and peaceful.  

I loved taking walks in the woods.  I remember one time, I went out for a walk in the woods close to home and it was snowing.  Not a sound anywhere.   I spotted tracks from a rabbit and decided to follow them.  I knew they were fresh tracks or they would have been buried.  I happened to look up and directly in front of me...almost eye level....was the biggest beautiful white owl.  Biggest I have ever seen!  He was just staring at me not moving...so quiet. We just stared at each other.  I think I ruined his lunch because he must have been following that same rabbit.  I backed out slowly to go home to get my camera.  Of course when I got back he was gone, but I will never forget that moment.

Yup....silence...walking in the woods.  Nothing like it.

The memory inspired me to make my card for the Silent Night.  Actually, I made not just one but 31 cards.

Thank you for stopping by.  If you still need to get a few more cards done...go back to 52 Christmas Card Throwdown and see if you feel like doing a sketch, color, theme or technique challenge.  The challenges are along the top of the page, so pick one and scroll down the list.   I can't wait to see what you will share with us!
