Pastel Noel - Stampin' Up! Welcome Noel

   The Neutral Noel suite continues to offer a lot of fun possibilities for Christmas cards and I love the different looks you can get just by changing the color palette.  My card today shows off some pastel colors and some mixing and matching of the stamp sets and dies.

  The card base is Barely Blush, then another layer of the same embossed with The Swirls of Magic embossing folder.  Before adding the next layer I used the Barely Blush Shimmer pen to color some of the embossed pattern making them stand out a bit more.  The shimmer Brush makes them slightly darker and sparkly.

  Next is a Basic White Scalloped Christmas Cheer die cut which is the perfect size for creating these little building scenes.  I embossed a separate piece of Basic White with the Softly Woven embossing folder and cut it down to fit on the inside of the stitched detail of the scalloped rectangle.

The house has a Hydrangea Hue backing and a Barely Blush star on the peak.  The trees are Old Olive and are tucked just under the edge of the house. The first part of the sentiment from the Noel Tidings stamp set is stamped in Versmark, embossed in white and fussy cut as well and the second part is stamped in Hydrangea Hue and trimmed down to fit the space.

 I couldn't place any ribbon or embellishments to my liking so I left the only bit of sparkle on the star which is colored with Barely Blush Shimmer Brush.

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
