I have been trying to get my Stampin' Mojo going again and sometimes that means going outside our normal style. The other night as I was brainstorming card design ideas it came to me to use the new Confetti Stars Punch to create a starry night over the holiday houses. This card is my result.
I placed a strip of Silver Glimmer Paper behind the Confetti Stars to make it look like twinkling stars overhead.
When I saw the Holiday Home stamp set with matching framelits I knew it would be at the top of my holiday order. These houses will had value to my stamping collection for years to come. The houses are each embossed in White Emboss Powder and cut out using the coordinating framelits. The string of christmas lights are also embossed in white and then the bulbs are colored with my Blendabilities markers.
All the layers and elements are raised up on Stampin' Dimensionals to give the card more dimension. You can see that better in the next photo.
When my husband saw the card he said, "Oh I like that one" and then he realized it had Christmas decorations. The christmas decorations are definitely subtle.
I am pleased with the result of bringing my idea to life. I would love to hear what you think of the result.
Thanks for stopping by.

Love the card!!!! I would not of thought to cut the stars out and then place a silver paper behind it. I would have cut the stars out of the silver paper and try to attach. Go figure. That's why you are a designer and I copy or case. Your cards are always a joy to copy or case.
