Merry Christmas

I know -- it seems so early to be talking Christmas, but have you been to the stores lately?  It's everywhere!  In fact, my local Hobby Lobby had Christmas decorations in store and on display by Memorial Day weekend!



I didn't get started that early!

Anyhow, this card came about from an experiment and some scraps laying on my desk.   There's a new (to me) product coming in the Holiday Catalog -- Shimmer Paint.  Shimmer Paint is offered in 4 shades/colors:  Bright Copper, Champagne Mist, Frost White, and Vegas Gold.  I was intrigued when I saw it and since I never used it, I  opened the bottle of Champagne Mist and the doily stamp from the Very Vintage host set and went to work.  I wish I had photographed the process, but I did not.  I'll make another card soon and take pictures while I work to show you.  But I used a sponge to apply the Glimmer Paint to the stamp and then stamped the cardstock.  When the Shimmer Paint dried, I was very happy with the result.  A couple of days later, I found the layers for this card laying on top of one another and had to make a card.  The key feature for this card is the images on the background layer.  I really like this affect and think it will be beautiful on those fall and Christmas cards!
