Guest Star Stamper

 I have the honour of guesting at Color Throwdown,
after recently being lucky enough to be their featured stamper.
The colour palette this week is Red, Pink and Mint Green....

This is my card......

After stamping and heat embossing I used metallic Mint green paint for the leaves.
I mixed a couple of 'red' embossing powders to triple emboss the die cut sentiment.
I was going for vintage shades of pink, green and red.
Finishing off with pink and white pearl liquid drops.
The talented and creative team at Color Throwdown have tons of inspiration for you....
The photo also inspired me to use 'pink' for the berries.
I am super thrilled with guesting and thank you so much for asking me.

Three Trees

 I had a fun day today crafting and came up with this Christmas card.....

The colours have been inspired by Color throwdown
..........Pink, Turquoise, Green and Black.
I stamped, masked, heat embossed
and enjoyed using up some of my many liquid pearls.

It's actually a one layer card, which amazed me
with the amount of Liquid Pearls on it, that it didn't warp too badly.
Finishing off with some glitter stickles.

Thank you so much for stopping by, especially this time of year
 when we are all so very busy.
I really appreciate it.

The stamps are Visible Image

Merry Christmas

 At last I found some time to make a Christmas Card....
The colours have been inspired by the challenge over at Color Throwdown .....
Pink, Silver and White....
Stamped first with archival ink, 'coloured' using acrylic paints
and then re-stamped and heat embossed in Silver.
I did some masking to extend the pretty poinsettia,
with the heat embossed silver leaves.
Finishing off with the die cut sentiment,
'white' pearl drops in the centre of the poinsettia
and edging two sides of the card with silver.
I wanted to make the card as 'slim' as possible for posting.

'Chewing' less dust now and so glad we had it done....
Not so much at the time!

Please stay safe and well.
