Lisa,
I adore your elegant oriental inspired card.
The background paper is so subtle but adds
so much interest.
The dies are amazing and the glitter is so beautiful.
Spectacular work of art my friend.

I'll get your ribbon in the mail to you this week.

Winner and Thanks for Everything

 
a few post ago I did a Christmas card
with
from Papertrey Ink
they also have a stamp set
that matches the dies
I rarely used either I could never get them
stamped straight until I got the
this is how I use it to get the
sentiment stamped perfectly
first start by cutting out your dies
and keep the negative piece of paper
next I put a scrap piece of paper on the Misti
and center the stamp as closely aligned as I can
if the anything is off you can move the top
layer slightly but DON'T move the bottom
piece as that is exactly where the stamp will be
Place the die cut in the open spot
and stamp
Perfection!

Vinita,
I love the colors in this card.
The delicate white snowflake looks amazing
on the background of blue and the texture of the
distressed edges is a wonderful contrast.
The droplets look like a halo surrounding
the snowflake. Beautiful card!

Show it off Saturday Linky Party & Thanks

started this card with a little Thanks die cut from
from a little piece of watercolor paper
I was using to test some water coloring blending
I used the thanks die to cut the thanks again
into a piece of water color paper inked
with some Tim Holtz
then I spritzed with some water and set
the first thanks into the blue rectangle
used some foam tape to pop this up on
a white card base a few assorted sequins
with some silver stickles in the center

Glenda,
The embossing on your card is outstanding.
I love the texture it gives the image,
The silver/blue background paper is
beautiful and the perfect backdrop the red and white
of your focal image. Perfect addition of the snowflakes
so pretty.
