I have the cards I made from the final coffeepot of the year to share with you today! It was at Wendy's house this week. Our usual host Emma was off with her school on a pantomime trip so Wendy kindly offered to host and luckily for me Diana was in charge. So all I had to do was to relax and enjoy the crafting! Here's what we made:
We used an old Glenda Waterworth stamp from before Chocolate baroque - I think its beautiful!
On this first one I stamped in versa mark and heat embossed with gold sparkle powder. I then used distress ink to paint the leaves and berried and mounted on green card. Finally I used red berries to colour the actual card.
This one was stamped in black archival and then painted with distress. I stamped the image a second time and fussy cut this and added that with foam pads once painted. The background used a holly stamp to create a border.
I hope you have a really great Saturday - not sure yet what me and the girls are up to!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!
ReplyDeleteReally like that second card. Colours are lovely and the fussy cutting looks super. Hugs to you and the girls. Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a beautiful image too! And in your hands, spectacular. I think #3 would be my fav (but it was a hard choice) just because I like the painted look of the bright holly. Glad you had a good evening with the ladies, and no ill after effects. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and best wishes that 2016 will be all that you wish it to be. TFS & Hugs.
ReplyDeleteGreat holly cards - love the pop of dimension for the second one. Sounds as though it's all under control round your way and the festivities have already started!
