I wasn't really planning to enter the
Coffee Lovers Fall Winter Blog Hop, but I noticed the Stampendous stamp in my box of things I'm selling. Decided to use it again before it hopefully goes to a new home.
I stamped in Versafine & added just a bit of coloring with Copics. The popped up frame is made with a PTI die & a beautiful double sided Echo Park paper I got in Indiana from the clearance bin. The splotches from PRS New Day stamp set are stamped in Memento Toffee Crunch. I lightly brushed the panel with DI since I didn't want it to be so white. Now if only you guys were here to share a cup with me!
As you know, I love making Christmas cards! This one started at the retreat in Indiana when I borrowed
Brenda's PB poinsettia stamp.
I silver embossed it & colored with Zigs I borrowed from
Maria. When I got home I added the PB sentiment stamped in Versafine Majestic Blue, splattered with Zigs & added Nuvo Silver Moondust to the center. I'm entering

The
W&W Color Combo Challenge inspired my thank you card. I smooshed a watercolor panel with DO fossilized amber & faded jeans & DI victorian velvet.
Then I die cut W&W The Leaf Effect & attached it to a beige, textured panel. The die cut sentiment is W&W In a Word: Thanks. I used a sponge dauber to color the shadow with fossilized amber & the word with victorian velvet. Both layers were stacked 3 high & I added Nuvo Glaze for shine.
The little branch included in the set was stamped in faded jeans & attached behind the word. Finished off with some gold sequins. I'm also entering

So beautiful - I love each one so much! Your last card makes me want to try using negative cuts a bit more. Not sure why, but I seem to skip over this technique totally! I think it's time I change that :)
