E is for Tall Festive Emu

 It's time for the 11th Annual Month of Holiday Cards Challenge at Beccy's Place.

Day 6 - E

E is for Emu,

a tall Festive Emu

I created a 5"x7" Emu card earlier today and could not resist making 

a tall slimline version to add to my A-Z of  Christmas.

I opened the pre-coloured "Festive Emu" digital stamp and “twinkle, twinkle Christmas lights” digital sentiment  in Silhouette Studio and sized them to fit on a tall slimline 3 1/2" x 8 1/2" card.  I printed the image panel and sentiment panel on textured cardstock, trimmed to size, matted with cardstock, trimmed to a 1/16" border with a Perfect Layers Ruler.  I made a slimline card base from 300gsm smooth white cardstock and matted it with white textured cardstock.  Once the matted image panel was adhered to the matted card base, the matted sentiment panel adhered in place and all that was needed was some sparkle to add to the twinkling sentiment.  I added a luscious layer of Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush over the star, the lights and around the coloured matting layers. 

The luscious sparkle adds to the magic of the

"twinkle, twinkle Christmas lights" sentiment.

Here are the cards together,
