Christmas in July Swap - May 2007

I made this for a Christmas in July card swap I'm involved in. I decided I wanted to make several cards and send them out in a little packet. I had just did the dazzling diamonds technique in class and really loved it. Actually I just love sparkles and the fact that this gave me an excuse to play in my sparkles and create a cool card using embossing was the greatest thing ever.

CARD RECIPE #1:

Stamps: Merry, All Year Cheer

I made this card by casing another card on SCS for part of my Christmas in July swap package. Sorry I can't recall at this time who it was I cased. They did a wonderful job and though I changed a few things I didn't change much. Thanks for the idea and inspiration.
