Peaceful Season

 Another Christmas card using the pretty hostess level 2 set out of the Christmas mini. Check out all that bling! the chunky glass glitter is on w/ one line of the multipurpose liquid glue and then i used a sponge dauber and dabbed all over the very vintage wheel w/ Champagne Mist shimmer paint.

Peaceful Season

 a bit of embossing w/ gold makes this card dazzle! This is a level 2 hostess set out of the Christmas mini catalog right now. Very elegant. a strip of sticky strip hold my ruffled ribbon and bunched up strip of eyelet border punched paper. the button is from the neutrals group.

the distressing along the edges was done w/ my finger nail once again. Just scratch it! I also stamped the leaf/berry in versamark on the cherry cobbler piece. It's a more subtle look than tone on tone ink like if you would have used the cherry cobbler.

 we had a birthday party w/ our play group to celebrate the special day and i wanted to make a little something she could give to her friends that they could take home! once again this mini milk carton has come in super handy! I could fit a bag of fruit snacks in there just right! Bravo!

The glitter got a bit messy and was kinda everywhere, but they just needed that lil somthin' extra ... and this was the ticket! I left the top open and just the library clip held it together. works slick

woodgrain & animal stories

 get out of your box lately? I sure did here! what an odd color combination.... but i really do like it and in my opinion...it looks oh so much better in person! This is what you call grabbing my base(elegant eggplant) and then just laying scraps next to it and deciding what looks good. Then you design! It's very bright and cheery i thought!

 i popped my 'wood' piece up on dimensionals so it looks like Mr. owl is actually in the tree;) easy distressing of the wood was just done by scratching my finger nail along the edge. More vigorously in some spots than others.

i forgot to take a picture until i had it sealed in the fun clear envelope to give to a dear friend. hence the not so clear pictures. I love this option for when you hand deliver a card that is so cute! you can buy them from SU! right by all the other envelopes!

supplies:
paper: elegant eggplant, pumpkin pie dsp, old olive dsp, crumb cake, very vanilla
ink: elegant eggplant, pumpkin pie
stamps; wood grain, animal stories
