Oh boy it's been chilly here in Lincolnshire and was supposed to warm up a little this afternoon, but the wind is still howling and we have ice and snow still sitting around, but the stoves are lit and it's snuggly and I've joined the lovely crew of the Christmas Card Club with our fortnightly share. I've gone for the Anything Goes option today and a blue frosty card to suit the day.
I used a sponge brayer to colour the embossed background with Balmy Blue ink and then set about creating some beautiful Poinsettias by heat embossing the images in silver and using the dies to cut them and some foliage. I stamped the sprigs and holly leaves in Misty Moonlight and used a blender pen to drag some of the ink across the berries and as you can see the holly leaves are stamped on Balmy Blue card.
I made it all sparkle with some silver foil card die cuts and if you look closely you can see I've added some Wink of Stella, and there are a handful of navy rhinestones too.
Keep safe, warm and well and keep stamping.
