Festive 48 - week 17


Week 17 already!

And this week I have a top tip for anyone new to using Frantage encrusted embossing - wear mittens- or at least don't get a fragment stuck beneath your nail, as it hurts!

My penguin was cut on the Silhouette, and I layered it up with label die cuts, one of which I dry embossed. I added a border of punched snowflakes with gems and used Frantage embossing powder with fragments, glitter etc. For my layout I used the sketch at Seize the Sketch.

Just to recap, I have challenged myself to make a Christmas card every week , and post it here (to make sure I do it!) . If I do this, by the beginning of December I will have 48 Christmas cards. I have also issued an invitation to anyone who would like to join me by linking up ONE card each week. 

Thank you to everyone who's joined me so far. I love seeing your cards.

    Luckily I've never got frantage stuck under my finger nails, and I do like the effect of it on this card:)

    It is crazy that it has been 17 weeks! Great card. I am a sucker for black and white. Even with a big penguin it looks so classy. =)

    Your little penguin is charming, nestled on his background of black and white. The snowflakes are a perfect special touch! Pretty and darling!
