Lawnscaping Challenge #45 - Dust 'em off!

I'm so happy its time for another Lawnscaping Challenge.  For this challenge, it is time to "dust 'em off" - use something in your stash you haven't used in a while.  That wasn't a problem for me at all.  Actually - there are several things in my craft room I haven't even used yet!  Mainly - because they are products that I am not sure of myself with, but you can't get the best use with them if you don't use them.



So - for my card - I used some of my mists and a mask that I hadn't used yet.  I just love this pattern of this mask.  I think overall - my panel came out pretty good.  I love blues and purples.  I used the set "Ornate Ornaments" from Lawn Fawn.  I wanted to keep this card fairly simple in design, because I knew the misted panel would be "busy".  





I took the smallest "twinkle" image, and stamped several times in VersaMark Ink, and heat embossed it using silver embossing powder.  I love watching silver embossing powder melt.  Something about it is just so soothing.  I also did the same with my sentiment "Be Merry" from LF set Pa-Rum-Pa-Pum-Pum. I die cut a scallop circle from my card panel, and  I popped up both the ornament, and the misted panel off of my card base which is Vintage Creme card stock from PaperTrey Ink.  I added silver Stickles to the ornament to tie in the silver cording at the top.  This marks my first holiday greeting card this season!!
