PTI ~ Love of Layers

This card is for the current MIM over HERE where Laurie Schmidlin adds lots of wonderful layers to her card.  I  love when other people make a card with layers, I usually don't love mine, but this time I really like this.  I added extra depth to the card by running my versamark around the edges and white embossing it, I had also sponged some white ink around the edges.  I stamped and embossed white snowflakes and added die cut snowflakes from both white cs and vellum.  I had to add a couple of branches from the Beautiful Berries: Winter.  the final touch was some nuvo white drops to mimick snowflakes.  Here is Laurie's card:

Heart Hugs, friends!

Merry Monday ~ the "words" have it!

The challenge this week at Merry Monday is to use your word or sentiment as the star of the card.
I die cut the "peace" and then embossed it TWICE with "WOW Pearl Gold Sparkle Embossing Glitter"!!  This baby sparkles!!  I inlaid it into the card.
I used some Recollection Foil paper for my two strips.
The dove is from PTI Peace Be Still stamp set.
Fine linen paper for the face of the card and white for the card.
Thanks for taking a look!

Merry Monday meets Make it Monday...AGAIN!!

Heather has a great video HERE that shows a Layered Embossed Card for Make It Monday and Merry Monday asks us to have some kind of a Christmas Bird on the card.

I first stamped the background hearts with sweet blush ink, then I inked up a sentiment from the Peace Be Still set (Peace on Earth) and stamped it randomly using fine linen ink.  I then stamped the sentiment from Happiest of Holidays with black memento ink.  Then I stamped the "dove" with versamark ink and clear embossing powder.  I went back over it with sweet blush ink and a dauber to ink it up and highlight the doves.
