ID: MC Nov/12 - Dreamweaver CAS - Season's Greetings

This month's challenge over on the Dreamweaver site is a CAS card.

I don't think I've used this stencil before (LJ900) and it fit my mood today, bare branches with some glitz... It's been snowing all day here in Calgary - a little depressing even as beautiful as the snow looks, and we're only up to -7º C (about 24ºF) as a high temp... Not my kind of weather.

I taped down my stencil down on a 5"w x 6.5"h white card and spread the regular white paste all over, then sprinkled Distress "Walnut Stain" embossing powder, removed the stencil and heat set the powder. (washed off my stencil). Adhered two sizes of red Rhinestones.

Stamped my sentiment (Quietfire Design) with Versafine Satin Red and hit it lightly with Olympian Green, stamped and clear embossed. Voila, card done. Can't get simpler than that...
