Just having fun with the Paper Craft Crew Card Sketch #219 and some fun Christmas stamps and papers. The elf and gifts were colored with Prismacolor pencils, and the sentiment was embossed with the Real Red Glitter Stampin' Emboss powder from the 2016 Holidays Catalogue.
Tip: Here's a tip I picked up and that has really helped me get better result when using the glitter embossing powder: shake the closed container before using. The glitter Stampin' Emboss powders are made of colored embossing powder and glitter and the glitter tends to stay at the top of the container and the embossing powder at the bottom. If you don't have enough embossing powder to hold onto the glitter, it will not stay in place and your embossing will tend to flake. You also won't get an even result, which is particularly important is you are embossing wording. I've noticed that by shaking the container first, I get really good results.
