Two cards


Hi everyone!
Today's card is inspired by the awesome graphic over at Christmas Card Challenges.


I love that I have a tree stamp that mimics this photo inspiration.  This tree comes from Clearly Whimsy Stamps set Oh Christmas Tree.  The sentiment is from Snowflake Wishes also by Clearly Whimsy.  Both stamped and embossed using white embossing powder.


Stamps: Oh Christmas Tree & Snowflake Wishes (Clearly Whimsy)
Ink:  Versamark
Paper:  White, Royal Velvet (PTI)
Accessories: White embossing powder, Rhinestone, Stitched Border Dies Trio (Clearly Whimsy)


My second card for today is for a few challenges.  First a, new to me, challenge over at Laura's Loft.



I used God is Good stamp set by Reverse Confetti as my NBUS.

I inked up my background stamp using Distress Inks, spritzed with water then placed my water color paper over the top and pressed for even coverage.  LOVE the water color look this achieved and the sentiment.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

Stamps:  Marble Feathers Background (Serendipity Stamps), God is Good (Reverse Confetti)
