Merry Christmas Snowflake

I'm back with another super quick, clean and simple Christmas card.  I just picked up the new trim and score board by We R Memory Keepers today at my local LSS (Scrapdoodles) and couldn't wait to try it out.  Verdict?  I love it!!!  I scored some lines on the diagonal and then stamped my sentiment.  The brad in the center of the snowflake was colored using my alcohol inks.  The snowflakes were popped up.  I love the way it came out!

The score lines are very crisp and I love the cut of the blade too!  I love the fact that it is a trimmer AND a scoreboard!  Brilliant!  I will definitely be using this in my classes.  I have another day off from work tomorrow and I am hoping to get to play with my new e bosser!!!!

CAS Poppies

So I decided to make another poppy card with my new stamp set, since it was still sitting on my desk.  This time I went with a more clean and simple approach (much more up my alley, lol!)  So again I embossed the image in black and then colored it in using my new big brush pens from Faber Castell.  They are fun to work with!  Added some twine, mounted onto a kraft base and popped up the sentiment!  Voila!  Quick, clean and simple.  Mood when done?  Happy :)

Poppies

Just popping on to share a card I made a couple of days ago using a new Kaisercraft poppy stamp set!  I love poppies!!  I embossed the image with black embossing powder, then used some distress inks to blend on some color.  I watercolored on some more barn door ink onto the poppies to give them a bit more depth.  I stamped my sentiment (don't look too closely, it is crooked, grrr!) and added the little black dots using black enamel accents.  I seem to be putting little enamel dots on everything right now, lol!  As a final touch, I sprayed the whole panel with some pearlized water.  It just gives it a little subtle shimmer, which I love!

I uploaded a close-up so you can hopefully see the shimmer.

I have today off, dinner is organized for this evening, the house is pretty clean, so I think I will spend the day in my craft room getting inky!!

Hope you all have a wonderful day.
