Detailed Santa Luminary

Earlier this month we held a Team Meeting.
We asked a few members to bring displays.
My friend, Gail Diss, used the Detailed Santa
thinlit.  I love some of the different things
Gail did with this thinlit.  First I'm going to
share two traditional ways to use the thinlit
as they were intended — cut out Santas.
Detailed Santa Shaker
She made a shaker card using the new Mica Flakes.
Look at all the detail and swirls in Santa's beard.
Detailed Santa
This time she added a bit of color and dimension
by adding cut out pieces back in except with
Glimmer cardstocks — no pretty and sparkly.
The picture doesn't do this card justice.

Detailed Santa CandleI love her twist on this one. 
There is a small candle behind the vellum sheet
so Santa glows.

Great job Gail.
