When I saw this Christmas stamp set all I could think of was Dr. Seuss. The tree looks like it stepped right out of How the Gringch Stole Christmas so I decided to go with that thought and create a sparkly Dr. Seuss inspired card! I've used lots of White Daisy embossing powder and prisma glitter for shimmer and shine - in person the tree is almost holographic with sparkles including homemade Sparkle Brads! There is a quick written tutorial at the end of my post on how you can create some of these for yourself!

Materials Used:Stamp set: Holiday Warmth
Paper: Citrus Leaf Cardstock, Clover Meadow Cardstock, Baby Pink Card Stock, Jingle Level 2 paper pack

Other: White Daisy Embossing Powder, Baby Pink Brads, Blush Ricrac, Prisma Glitter, Clear Detail Embossing Powder

HOW TO MAKE GLITTER BRADS:

2. Using tweezers, push the top of your brad into your Versamark embossing pad.
3. Dip your brad into your Prisma/Embossing Powder mix.
2. Using tweezers, push the top of your brad into your Versamark embossing pad.
3. Dip your brad into your Prisma/Embossing Powder mix.
4. Slowly heat with your heat gun until embossing powder melts.
5. While brad is still hot you can dip it back into the Prisma/embossing powder mix for an extra layer. Use your heat gun to melt additional embossing powder.
6. Carefully set aside to cool for a minute or two before placing on your project.
