For various reasons, I missed a lot of the CCC challenges last year but hope to do better in 2022! I made this card for Marianne for the January Card Chain Challenge using the Sketch Option, the Theme Option (Scraps & Friendship) and the Product/Technique Option (Sequins & Embossing).
I trimmed a snippet of blue paper, embossed it with the hearts embossing folder and attached it to the front of the card blank. I die cut the precoloured Lili of the Valley image with a stitched circle die. I placed the card blank into my MISTI and laid the circle topper on top so I could see where to position the stamp. I removed the topper and stamped the sentiment a couple of times with dark blue ink before embossing it with clear embossing powder. I die cut a circle of thin foam (slightly smaller than the topper) and glued it to the rear of the topper before attaching it to the card blank. To finish I added three white sequins to the bottom of the card.
To make this card I used:
7" x 5" white matt card blank
Lili of the Valley precoloured topper
My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics' dies
Clearly Besotted 'Dandelion Dreams' stamps
Xcut 'Small Polka Hearts' embossing folder
Versafine Majestic Blue ink
Cosmic Shimmer Clear Detail Embossing Powder
Snippet of blue paper
Small white sequins
