Scene Building - Winter holiday cheer peace card

 Hello, Gaylynn here.  Thanks for visiting.  Here on this last day of July, I am sharing card scene building using a mix of stamping, heat embossing and ink blending.  I am getting an early start on my holiday card making.


Sentiment:  Peace.  Holiday cheer.

Go through your crafty stash for stamps not intended for the holidays to help create a holiday card.  These trees worked great for building the winter scene.

Take care floral butterfly card ~ Stamp In Color

 Hey there.  Thanks for stopping by.  Today I am sharing a way to stamp in color and use colored pencils on kraft cardstock, for Unity Stamp Co.  This provides a subtle look by combining the two techniques.



Sentiment:  Take care.

Stamping different ink colors with a touch of colored pencils works beautifully on kraft.

Stencil frame moose card

Hi.  Thanks for visiting.  Today I am sharing a stencil frame moose card.  This is similar to a previous project that I made using eclipse stenciling, but for this one, I added more blending for a rustic look.


Sentiment:
Wishing you a day full of wild surprises.

Since the background paper was dark green, I added even more of the ink blending during the masking process.
