This time I stamped the image of St Nicholas directly on my card with Versamark and then heat embossed with detail silver. Then I dry embossed a Nestie frame - this is the good one - you should see the ones in the bin!! Then I painted St Nicholas with my twinkling H2Os - he really shimmers. I added a Christmas sentiment using my stamp-a-ma-jig to get the position correct. And finally I added some snowflakes. I know it's a bit "more" than "less", but it looked really bare without the snowflakes. I've taken a photo and I may try to replace the photo tomorrow, as the light isn't great!
Stamps: Waltzingmouse - Nutcracker Sweet, Compliments of the Season
Inks: Versamark; Memento - London Fog
Spellbinders: Labels 20 (S5-026) die #4
H2Os: Spiced Pumpkin, Chestnut Brown, Green Tea, Solar Gold, Bronze Medallion, Iridescent Red
Accessories: Detail silver embossing powder, card from stash
And that's all for now. I'm off to watch the voting for Eurovision - I really enjoyed Blue and would love for them to win! But I have a feeling that Jedwood are going to win - I actually quite enjoyed their song!!! :)
Don't forget that tomorrow we have another CR84FN challenge for you - so see you then.

Your's is the second card I've seen using nesties to dry emboss...something I'd never actually considered! It's a great idea...and a fab card, even if it does make me feel a little chilly ;-)
Love your shimmery Santa and the wonderful subtle snowflake background ... and a bit woot woot to you for getting two holiday cards done this week ... thanks for joining us at jingle belles.
Teriffic colouring, love you card :-)
Maybe won't mention Eurovision!
I do love the voting scenario, albeit you can guess who is going to vote for who!
Super card, such a jolly St Nicholas
Thank you

Shame about neither Blue nor Jedward winning but hey - respectable places for them both! AND your card is lush too

Fabulous Deborah. Gold embossing and Christmas colours always remind me of Faberge.

Very nicely done!
Gorgeous Deb; especially the image of St. Nicholas. Fabulous job!

Aha, he looks perfectly placed. I haven't tried this dry-embossing with a nestie - will have to check that out. I just be he is so shimmery - I keep forgetting about the twinkling h20's. Lovely card.
