Hi everyone, sorry I've been MIA this week. I went through my stash of Christmas cards earlier this week, and just about had a panic attack when I discovered I was about twenty cards short. I did get about 10 cards made over the last couple of days between Christmas shopping, chores and such; and hope to get the rest finished over the weekend. Although I vowed to make more postage-friendly cards this year, this one had a mind of its own...
I used a Tim Holtz stamp, added lots of layers and embossing, and finished it with a fun flower I created with punches and dies. Wonder how much postage this one will take?
I will be entering this in the Creative Card Crew Challenge -- Anything Goes
Have a great weekend and thanks for taking the time to stop by!
Supplies: Stamp - Tim Holtz Component Collection; Paper - Deja' Views DSP, MM Noel card pad, Jingle Bells Music-Flair Designs, SU! naturals ivory and sage shadow; Ink - Versafine smokey gray; Accessories - Marvy flower punch, Sizzix branch with leaves die, SU! embossing folder, sanding block, deckle scissors, fancy brad and dimensionals from my stash.
Wow! What a beautiful project!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for joining in our Anything Goes Challenge at the Creative Card Crew this time!

Beautiful card, Pat. "A mind of it's own".. Too funny. I make that same vow every year, too, but those cards really do seem to ignore it don't they! lol Well I love all the dimension and textures here!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love the scalloped bottom and how you did your flower. Good luck with those cards; I always seem to be behind, too. It's fun making them, but I hate having to address the envelopes--ha! ha!
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous Pat!! I just love your coloring on the first one. So festive and adorable!! The punched detail and paper is beautiful on the 2nd!
