Hi there Crafty Friends! It's our first challenge for 2026 at Time Out and it's a Theme Challenge. The theme is 'ALL THAT GLITTERS'.
We also have a new teamie - the incredibly talented Jaydee from Stampin' with Jaydee. She has been a regular entrant in our challenges and has wowed us with her talent!

I dry embossed the background of metallic card stock, swiped it with ink and then heat embossed, using various embossing powders and glitter. Next I swiped gold ink on the die cut leaves and embossed with a gold glitter embossing powder. To finish, I added the sentiment, which I thought was perfect for a New Year card.
The embossing folder is from a discount store and the Gingko Die is from Impression Obsession, who are sadly no longer in operation.
We are lucky to have the very talented Heather Heroldt of Handmade by Heather as Guest Designer this challenge. You can see Heather's fabulous card and more inspiration from our wonderful DT at the Time Out Challenge blog.
Now it's your turn - I hope you have the opportunity to join in our challenge.
Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog! I love to read your comments:)
This is "All that glitters" perfection! What gorgeous colors and texture. That background embossing is really great. A very eye-catching card!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, Jenny! WOW!
ReplyDeleteJenny, thank you so much for the warm welcome! Oh, I love this card. I love the texture from the ginko leaves and the background. I love the shimmer and shine, and I love that wide white border. Fabulous.

I've always admired fabulous background techniques and this is definitely one I would love to do, Jenny. It holds its own against those beautiful gold leaves.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE the way you "metalisized" this card. All of the embossing and glitter and metallic treatment.. fabulous. Great take on our challenge, Jenny.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool background Jenny and I love your sparkling ginkgo leaves! Hugs, Kate!
