I am continuing my theme for the next few days with Christmas Cards that are extremely simple, but very "effective". LOL!!! My friends in the UK often say that and I think it is so true. The combination of simple and "effective" is just what you want when your life is so busy. Marj Marion did this card by paste embossing the bicycle (LJ895) using the Glossy White Paste on red cardstock then adding glitter onto the wet paste after she removed the stencil. Another variation on this would be to use the regular embossing paste and while it was wet sprinkle it with regular or thick embossing powder, then when the paste was dry you could heat the powder with a heat gun for a glossy effect. Don't you love her little clear plastic embellishment that is tied up with ribbon and says "Santa's Cycle"?Monday, November 8, 2010

What a darling card and so easy! The bicycle reminds me of Christmas 50+ years ago when I got a beautiful purple metallic bike. One of the best Christmas' ever for me! Thanks so much for the tip about using the embossing powder on the wet paste. I never would have thought you could do that.
Great card. Hey, Lynell, I think I see another mode of transport that needs a "flame" job! Lol
