This week we have some colors to play with on our Christmas card. Aqua, Red and White with CIRCLES! I used the Lil' Inkers circle stitched set and then stamped my wreath on it. I embossed the sentiment with 'rouge' Zing embossing powder.
Here is where you need to go to play along with this weeks challenge. I hope you will join in the fun...I love these Christmas colors! Almost as much as I love the looks of those yummy cupcakes!!
stamps: PTI Wreath for all Seasons, Think big # 20, Happiest of Holidays, Two Feet Deep
paper: PTI white and aqua mist
ink: dark chocolate, aqua mist, pure poppy, kraft
dies: Lil' Inkers Circle Stitched Mat stack
and the inside of the card...I always try to make it a little softer, so I normally stamp off once before stamping the image on the inside of the card.
Thank you so much for taking a look! Hope you have a great week! I have NO voice...I bet my husband is happy about that!!
Heart Hugs,
Colleen
Beautiful! Love the softness of this card.

ReplyDeleteAhhhhh, those lil inker dies are some of my faves!!! I think I use the rectangles or the squares on every card I make!! :) :) I need to take the circles out more often ~~ this is gorgeous!! :) :)

PS ~~ my fave thing for when I would lose my voice as a teacher ~~~ HALLS Breezers ~~ they work like a charm getting your voice back the same day. They are made w/ fruit pectin and very natural. My faves are the berry or the strawberry. :) :)
