I learned about Wonder Stix from my friend,
Ivana, a long time ago. Finally used a 50% off coupon at Michaels to get them.
Tried them out by coloring 3 Pinkfresh Dainty Blossoms sprigs. I used a water brush to smooth the color. Ivana says they're fabulous for vellum, so plan to try that next. The sentiment from Delicate Wreath was stamped in Versafine Clair Nocturne & I added splatters with a black Zig. I entered the
Pinkfresh February challenge via IG. I'm also entering

I've had 2 of the SSS Painted Happy Birthday die cuts on my table a long time. Finally decided to use them or throw them out!
I stacked the 2 together & embossed with SSS Rose Gold ep. It's so pretty, but I don't use it much. Instead of putting it with gray or navy, I decided to try PTI Sweet Blush & Pale Peony--love it!
I used Pale Peony ink with SSS Square Dance stencil. The SSS Peeking Daisies were inked with Pale Peony & covered in Nuvo Glaze. Finished off with PPP Rose Gold sequins. I'm entering
SSS Flickr 143,
SSS Wednesday & (words & daisies)
The Snippets Playground.
I HAD to have the Honey Bee Poinsettia Background stencil, but didn't use it for any cards last year. Now that is crazy & thanks to this card it won't be true for 2020!
I used the simple technique of inking with Versamark & embossing in gold on a green panel. Then I trimmed the panel to A2 size & used the retired SSS curved die. I mounted the panel to a cream card & attached the MFT joy die cut. It was cut from red glitter tape attached to cardstock for stability. The little sentiment from W&W was gold embossed & attached with foam tape over the word.
Debated about adding sequins, but I really like it as is. I'm entering
Retro Rubber (W&W sentiment from 2015),
Rudolph Days &
SSS Wednesday.

Greta, another fabulous trio of cards. I love the delicately colored leaves in the first, the monochromatic pinkiliciousness of the second and that stencil on your third deserves much use this year.

All your cards are beautiful! I like the gold embossed stencilling on your early Christmas card. It's so striking on the green and the glittery red 'joy' really shines. Thanks for playing along with us at Retro Rubber Challenge this week.
