Welcome back, a day late but better late than never. A couple more cards from my training day with Donna.

Card Recipe



Card One
Stamps: The Snowflake Spot
Cardstock: Whisper White, Old Olive, Real Red
Inks: Old Olive, Always Artichoke, Mellow Mose, Real Red, Versa Mark.
Accessories: Crimper, Clear EB powder, Brads, Grosgrain Real Red Ribbon, Tool kit, Rectangle double punch, dimensions, heat tool.

Card Two

Stamps: Snow Burst, Many Merry Messages, Peaceful Wishes

Accessories: Clear EB powder, Dazzling diamond, heat and Stick powder, heat tool, Purely Pomegranate stitched ribbon, Round Tab punch, 1/2 " circle punch, sponges

This card hasn't photographed as well as I had wished but is a lovely card. I used the round tab punch to cut a 2" circle to make the Christmas ball in the middle of the card, and its is stamped and covered in dazzling diamonds. The background is also stamped, with the soft sky and blue bayou then dazzling diamonds applied to a number of snow bursts. Seasons Greetings is clear embossed, using versa mark, real red ink then clear EB powder applied and heated.

Thank you for looking and Happy Stamping.
