I pulled out some My Favorite Things stamps and dies for this first card based on the MFTWSC#148 sketch.
I love the little topper piece that come with the ornament dies. The patterned paper is from Authentique and the sentiment from MFT's Inspired by Christmas.
Foam adhesives pop up the ornaments.
This next card was inspired by the Muse #41 and this card from Janet Ribet.
I love the frosty palette, the falling snow & quiet sentiment!
I wish I had Janet's embossing folder - my snow is created taking three different flower center stamps and stamping them randomly all over the panel with Versamark ink. They are heat embossed and then the panel is inked with TH Tumbled Glass.
The SSS tree die is cut several times and adhered together for depth & strength and attached to the panel. Twine & a few jingle bells are added after the MFT sentiment is stamped. The tree, snow drift and a few random snowflakes are given a frosty touch of stickles to finish the card off.
Is this design CAS enough to enter in the CASual Friday Challenge #119? I'm going to link it up and see what they say.
CFC119: Use dry or heat embossing on your Clean And Simple project.
Deadline is Wednesday, Nov. 13th at noon eastern.

ReplyDeleteI missed seeing this card or I would have voted for it, but then I guess you didn't need it. You were a top three anyway. The card is lovely and your unique way of making a snowfall was genius. I love the bright ornament card, too.

ReplyDeleteJacquie, these are both such beautiful cards! The design of the first card really caught my eye (and of course the fabulous ornaments). The second card is very serene. I love it! Thanks for joining us at CAS-ual Fridays!
ReplyDeleteAwesome cards, Jacquie!! I love how you embossed the ornaments...why haven't I thought of that yet?? LOL! The second card is so pretty and delicate. Thanks for mentioning how you cut it multiple times because I was wondering how it would hold up.
