Stamp & Show some tickets.
With holiday decorating happening this week, I chose to create an ornamental star that will be added to our Christmas tree.
I began with a clear acrylic star that was embossed using the Allegro embossing folder on a Vagabond. It was then painted with Ranger's Gold Dabber. The paint was gently wiped off so that it stayed only within the deep grooves of the embossed music. Using Graphic 45's 8x8 Christmas Emporium paper, fussy cuts were made and adhered to the front of the embossed star along with Hero Arts Olive Green Gemstones.
Hope you can join us for this challenge! Create your own star and post it on the Simon Says Stamp & Show Challenge Blog. You may be the person who is randomly chosen to win a $50 gift certificate from our generous sponsor
or you may be chosen as one of the
top 3 designers for the week!
