I'm definitely in the mood for making cards these days. Must be something about the change in the weather!
First up for Can You Handle the Pressure? (use an embossing folder and have a sentiment on the card), Christmas Cards All Year Round (snowmen), and for Christmas Kickstart ("embossing folder fun"):
I used a corner embossing folder on my focal panel. I stamped and heat embossed my snowman image in dark blue and trimmed it close to its border so that it would fit in the space left by the embossing folder.
For Shopping our Stash (leaves), I pulled out a stamp I hadn't yet inked up so I'm adding it to the NBUS challenge as well.
I put the stamp in my MISTI and inked it up with Tombow markers, spritzing lightly and stamping on mixed media cs. I trimmed the panel with a pierced dot rectangle and went around the edges with Antique Linen Distress ink to give it a vintage look. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment on brown cs, and used a red shimmer card base. I finished it off with Glossy Accents on the berries.
I've got a third card today as I needed to make a birthday card for a friend that I go out for tea with a lot. I'm entering it at Festive Friday where they are celebrating National Dessert Day - nothing like cupcakes and iced cookies for dessert! I've got pink, cream, desserts, spoon, and stamping from their inspiration list.
I kept the card very CAS card as the image is quite busy. Stamped,
coloured with coloured pencils, bordered with dark pink, and popped up
on fun foam.
