A couple of Christmas cards!!

Hello friends!! How are you all doing? Hopefully you are having an amazing day!
Today, I am officially on vacation!! Yeah, much needed resting time, sleeping a little more and crafting!

So for today I have a couple of Christmas cards using stamps from Technique Junkies

Here are the basic details:
  • Stamp Stained Glass Background on a piece of white cardstock in any ink color, I used Sienna Ink. Use your Misti or any stamp positioner and leave you stamp in place.
  • Using a soft brush blend ink colors on you panel. After you are happy with the colors, position your panel on your Misti and using Versamark Watermark Ink stamp the image again, add gold embossing powder and heat set.
  • Die-cut panels and set aside.

Merry Christmas
Added the die-cut panels to a white card base.
Stamp Merry Christmas 2 in Blue Ink on white cardstock, then trim the piece.
Stamp the berries from Seasons Greetings Set  on a piece of watercolor paper in Versamark Watermark, add white embossing powder and heat set, then color it with Color Burst.
Fussy cut the image and adhere panels to card with foam adhesive.
Add dew drops to embellish it.

A snowflake is
Adhere background panel to white card base.
Stamp a snowflake from Snowflakes set of 9 on light blue cardstock in Versamark Watermark ink, then add gold embossing powder and heat set. Fussy cut it and adhere it on top of a die-cut snowflake in white, just to make a little contrast.
Stamp sentiment on white cardstock in Peacock ink.
Adhere it to card, add dew drops and rhinestones to embellish it.
