Winter Wishes

Hi Bloggers.

Apologies for the Christmas card today but as I currently have the Stamps to Die For Bauble Stamps in stock in my Amazon Store, I thought I'd share this demo card from the last set of Christmas Shows.

For the background, I ran some lavender card through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations New Year Dove Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and then rubbed Vintage Plum Gilding Wax all over. I inked around the edges with Seedless Preserves Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the Floral Bauble with Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer White Detail Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Heirloom Ornaments 2011.

I stamped the Winter Wishes Sentiment from the Justrite Noel Christmas Ornament Clear Stamp Set using Perfect Medium and added White Detail Powder. I did not heat set at this point. I stamped the bauble from the same stamp set around it, using Perfect Medium and added White Detail Powder. I then heat set the lot and cut it out using a smaller Spellbinders Heirloom Ornament 2011 die.

I stamped a border using one of the foliage stamps from the Creative Expressions Snowflake & Sprigs Stamp set, again using Perfect Medium and embossed with White Detail Powder. I edged the panel with Seedless Preserves Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam and popped it onto a black mat.

I assembled the card as shown adding a couple of tiny bows from my stash, some Black Pearls and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Vintage Plum around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
