I've had these posts ready FOREVER but I wanted to get Christmas Cards out in the mail before I posted anything.
My primary christmas card this year is a religious theme. I found this gorgeous Inkadinkado stamp at Archivers last year...I'm a big fan of the Mindscape line. I stamped the image using crushed concord distress ink and white card stock, and then polished antique gold perfect pearls onto the wet ink. I mounted the image on gold glimmer cardstock, and then pop-dotted the image onto the card. I stamped the sentiment using versamark clear and embossed using the new stampendous shabby white embossing powder. (This is totally another favorite product of mine. I actually bought the sampler kit so I got the shabby white, pink, blue, gold and silver...love it!!) I used pre-done purple cards and envelopes I found on clearance at Hobby Lobby for the card base, so that saved some time! You can't see it in the photos, but I stamped a sentiment inside the card as well using the distress ink. I finished the card with a tiny gem in the center of the star. Simple, but elegant. I am particularly pleased with the gold shimmer of the image and the hint of purple behind it.
(photos will go here!)
