Atlantic Hearts Sketch 292

The technique for this card came from a recent WOW! embossing powder blog hop.  I stamped the image in pale yellow ink using my Misti.  The card stock was removed from the Misti for coloring with Arteza Clean Color Real Brush Markers while the stamp was left in place.  The colored card stock was returned to the Misti for stamping with Versa Mark ink. Then the image was heat embossed in gold embossing powder.

Most of the time, I emboss first and color afterward, but doing it in the way described above helped in coloring the really tiny spaces.  The Floral Bliss set is from Simon Says Stamp.

Thanks for visiting.  I hope you find time to play along at AHSC this week.

 Love the clean refreshing feel of the Inspired By sketch, and, of course, it inspired me to make a tag!   I was inspired by the kraft and touches of green.  The sentiments are from a retired RC set called Tinsel and Trim, and the tag is cut from the RC Gift Card Holder Tag which I seem to use a lot, both as a tag and a card layering element.

Thanks for stopping by,

Winter Friend

Here's another card to share from this year's collection.  I love the simple silhouette and was glad to find a scrap of printed paper that "just fit" the opening in the background.  Seeing a cardinal (or red jay as my son used to call them) brings back such wonderful memories!


Thanks for taking a look,

Let Every Heart Prepare Him Room

I just finished addressing our Christmas cards.  For the first time ever, ALL of our  Christmas cards are handmade.  This was one of my favorites.  The sentiment is a Verve Plain Jane (retired) and the little bird is from MFT's Birds of a Feather.

MOJO Monday: Let it Snow!

I turned to an older Christmas stack and the MOJO Monday Sketch for a little help making a couple more Christmas cards.  I almost flipped past this page with a large scenic border, but found it to almost the right scale for the cute little snowman from Jingle all the Way.  The paper was wide enough for two background circles, and it was nice  to make two cards of similar design.

Thanks for taking a look,

Inky Paws Challenge: Mistle Toad

I love to decorate with mistletoe during the holidays....did you know that it's the state flower of Oklahoma and is actually a parasite?  The new Newton's Nook Mistle Toad stamp set combines the fun greenery and a "punny" sentiment for holiday giggles.  I've enjoyed making tags and cards with this adorable amphibian.
