Merry

 

Today is the the 12th and it is time for another Hot Mess card. This card is #64, so we are now into year #7. The idea of Hot Mess ~ Success is to Get Messy and you will have Success!  Messiness can be almost anything that we come up with--glitter, alcohol inks, glimmer glitz, sponged backgrounds, etc., anything that is a bit messy.  We are a very fun group and will post a card each month on the 12th.  The links to the other members are on my left side bar and I will also link them at the bottom at this post.

For this month's messiness, I wanted to use some of the newer Spellbinders Embossing Folders I recently purchased. I made another card that was my September card. This card uses the Scenic Poinsettias embossing folder on Stampin' Up Cherry Cobbler cardstock.  I then swiped my Versamark ink pad lightly over the raised areas and added white embossing powder.  It is very random over the areas and looks shiny in real life! The sentiment is a MFT die called Stacked Merry, cut from The Paper Cut's White Lady Metallic cardstock.  I die cut the embossed panel with Gina K Designs Master Layouts 2 along with the same White Lady cardstock.  There are some Pinkfresh Studio Glacier Jewels on the card.

I really like the look of this card and hope you do too.  I also sure hope my fellow messy ladies like it  too!  Here are the links to the other somewhat messy crafters:   Carol, Darlene, Jeanette and Terry.   I am sure you will enjoy seeing how everyone got messy this month and was successful in making some great cards!   Be sure to check back to see what we are up to in November as we will all be back for another round!
