Inky Paws Challenge #27 - Kraft + Sparkle

hi hi hi!

today starts a new Inky Paws Challenge!
i'm so excited! 

this time, it's all about getting your kraft and sparkle on!! i know there are a lot of you out there who will be excited!

i was totally inspired by the photo, and so i went with white, sparkly stripes on kraft!

i used a striped stencil and some embossing paste. then before it was dry, i sprinkled on some sparkly embossing powder. and then once it was dry, i heat set the powder! now i have sparkle that won't rub off! hello!!

i also heat embossed the sweet little snowflake tags from the Jolly Tags stamp and die set! they were embossed with a silver pearl onto some vellum. and then i stitched them into place like ornaments with my sewing machine! 

lastly, i heat embossed the sentiment (LOTS of heat tool action today!) and then splattered some white onto the card!

so fun!
be sure to play along for your chance to win some Newton's Nook goodies! 
enjoy!
