Poppystamps Soaring Tree Frame was die cut from white cardstock and colored with a gold sparkle pen and green and brown Faber-Castell markers. The leaves were covered in Peeled Paint Distress Stickles. I ink blended Altenew's Just Green and Persian Blue for the background which was covered with clear packaging and filled with Shaved Ice and a brown bead mix. You can see the shaker in action in my IG video. Poppystamps Nordic Bunny Trio was in my last order and think this cute fellow was the perfect addition to my card. I added a tiny bit of color to his ears and feet. The sweater was colored with blue ink left in my brush and a dot of Stickles was put on his tail. The gold foil chipboard sentiment is from Memory Box. SSS Dibble Tile folder gave me just the texture I wanted. I'm also entering Word Art Wednesday.
Recently a friend gifted me PFS Botanical Bunch stamp/die/stencils. I was in the mood for a monochromatic card--maybe because of my new Altenew Sea Shore ink cubes. 
I first gold heat embossed the image and then used all the inks in the ink set with the stencils. I added small gold splatters. The darkest ink was used for the sentiment from PFS Perfect Sentiments. The panel was die cut with PFS Postage Edge Rectangle and matted with gold metallic cardstock. I attached the sentiment over a nest of gold thread and added a few Sea Shore enamel dots. So happy with how this turned out. I'm entering PFS January Challenge using April Floral Frenzy and September Monochromatic Magic. Coloring stencils for stamps and embossing folders are lifesavers for me, as coloring is not one of my talents. Using matching stencils has become one of my favorite techniques, so I'm also entering my card at Time Out Challenge 305.
