Lindy's Stamp Gang - November Challenge

Check out Lindy's Stamp Gang Challenge for November.

Here is my inspirational card. I love to stamp and emboss vellum.  The sheer vellum allows
the subtle pattern underneath to show through.  I was a bit nervous to try this color combo but
I think it worked out nicely in the end.

   Starburst Stain - Bachelor Button Blue
   Glitz Spritz - Gecko Green
   Embossing Powder - Midnight Bronze Obsidian

Classic Christmas Wreath Card - Challenge

Hi there,
This is my first card for the Hero Arts Holiday Card Making Challenge.  I stamped the Wreath Stamp and embossed with black.  Then I added red gems for berries and a red ribbon.  To create the concave corners I used a 1" circle paper punch to simply clip the corners.  I love the simplicity of the black stripes & red glitter card.

Craft Stamper Magazine (November 2016)

The newest addition of Craft Stamper magazine is out now is shops.  I'm thrilled to share the news that my card was selected for the reader's section called "Ready Set Stamp"

We were asked to take inspiration from Van Gogh's painting "Starry Night" The card needed to use the color scheme: cobalt, indigo, deep purple, & yellow.  I was so delighted when I got the email saying they wanted to include my card.  It was well worth spending a week covered in inks and paints for this project.

Here is a sneak peek!
