GC-132 Color Challenge is “Yellow and White”.

Boy this is a wonderful change from all the

Red’s of Christmas, and Oh So Needed!

I used a new stamp & emboss set from Hero Arts. It’s called Textured Impressions, and you get one cling mount stamp with matching embossing folder. 

This one is called Thankful #657768.

I wet embossed it with white embossing powder and then dry embossed the image.

Cut out the center, added my image. How easy is this?

Added a few brads and ribbon and punched daisy. I hope you will take a break from all the Red’s and join use in this challenge at Gingersnaps. 

It runs until Jan 22 2012.

Still gives you lots of time to get back into the Red’s of Valentines.

Thanks for your visit today.

Bringing Home A Christmas Tree

With the help of a Google search I found this graphic and fell in love with it.
So why not make it into a Christmas card.

I used shimmer paper to print this on, and IRL, it is to die for (knock out cool).

Two Spellbinders dies were used,
paper is from K & Company,  only stamp used is from Stampin’ Up. 

Tim Holtz Pinecone die and embossing folder from Sizzix round out this card.

Thanks for dropping by today,
have a wonderful Holiday Season.

Here are three that I made, with plans on doing more when time permits.
