Welcome Christmas Into Your Heart...

Here's some colors I haven't used much this Christmas--Blushing Bride and Bravo Burgundy.  Isn't this a soft-looking card?

 The card itself is Blushing Bride, matted with the Bravo Burgundy.  The dotted designer paper comes from the In Colors Pattern DSP Stack.

OK, on this one again I used a retired set---but just because I love these trees. They are from the Patterned Pines Hostess Set.  I stamped them in three colors--Blushing Bride, Bravo Burgundy, and Pear Pizzazz.

The sentiment is from the Heard from the Heart set.

I topped each tree with a rhinestone jewel to give it a festive look.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Smiles, Laura

Yes, a retired stamp....

I know, I know, I should not use a retired stamp to show you today, but I just recently purchased the retired Riot of Petals stamp and have enjoyed playing with it. Here is a card I made for my step-mother for her birthday. I embossed the stamp with white embossing powder on white cardstock. Then I used sponge daubers to apply color to the flowers and leaves. I used Daffodil Dellight and Pumpkin Pie on the flowers, Certainly Celery on the leaves and Bashful Blue for the sky.

I stamped the words from the current stamp set Heard from the Heart in Pumpkin on Daffodil CS. I cut it freehand to look like a ribbon and smudged color along the edges to make them stand out.

Here is a close up of the flower. I think this will make a nice birthday card! I have more samples I made using this stamp and will be sharing those in the next few days.

Smiles, Laura
