Christmas Ornament

This card was so much fun to make.
I love this year's ornament stamp set — Embellished Ornaments.
Guess what — there is a coordinating framelit for this beautiful stamp set.
What could be better, right!!!
Navy OrnamentThe base of the card is Night of Navy with a layer of Smokey Slate that was
embossed with the Softly Falling embossing folder.  I adhered a piece of Holidays Fancy Foil Vellum to a piece of Whisper White cardstock and then layered that on Night of Navy cardstock.  Stamp the words on Smokey Slate cardstock with Night of Navy ink.  Stamp the ornament on Smokey Slate cardstock and cut out with the coordinating Delicate Ornaments Framelits.  I cut out the ornament topper from Silver Foil paper and adhered to the top of the ornament.  Tie a small bow with Night of Navy 1/2" Seam Binding Ribbon and adhere with a Glue Dot.  Add a Winter Wonderland Embellishment to the center of the ornament with a Glue Dot.

Witches Hat

What a great night I had last night!!!
I held a class with some wonderful women and we assembled the
fabulous Witches Hat kit.  This kit is amazing there is so much stuff in the kit.
We made the hat and lots of leftovers to create lots of cards and even home decor.
Witches HatWe sat around the tables sipping a glass of wine while working on our hats.
These ladies all LOVED the kit and was easy to assemble.

My sister, Tina, took left over pieces and created this awesome home decor piece.

Bleached Leaves

This card has a technique that I haven't done in a long time,
and I forgot how much fun it is.
Actually it combines two techniques
Heat Embossing (that still gets ewwws and ahhhhs) and Bleaching.
That's right — put some bleach in an Aqua Painter and paint away.
The bleach pulls the color out of the cardstock — very cool.
Bleached LeavesThe base of the card is Crushed Curry with a layer of Basic Black.
The next layer is Soft Suede.
Stamp the Lighthearted Leaves with VersaMark ink and heat emboss with
Black Embossing Powder.  Then use the Aqua Painter filled with Bleach to
paint the areas you want lighter.
Add a piece of the Venetian Crochet Trim to the bottom of the
Kraft Corrugated Paper which is trimmed at an angle.
Stamp the "So Grateful For You" with VersaMark ink on a small strip of
Crushed Curry and emboss with the Black Embossing Powder — trim at an angle too.
Take a piece of Gold Cording Trim and place onto the back of the corrugated banner, looping around freely.  Attach to the card front with dimensionals.
Add one of the wonderful Into the Woods Elements with glue.

This was another swap card from Founders Circle — the designer was Kelly Acheson.
Great card Kelly — Thank You!
