I stamped my images with black ink and used clear embossing powder over it to add a little texture and shine. Then I used coordinating stencil set to colour my images in. I used here Crimson, Velvet, Snapdragon, Forest Glades and Evergreen Fresh Dye Inks. This adorable set makes such a lovely festive card!

For today’s blog hop I created a quick and simple Christmas card using the newly released Jolly Ornaments. When it comes to holiday cards I always like to try something new and create ones using non-traditional Christmas colour schemes or designs.

'tis the season

For my today’s card I combined dark green floral patterned paper from Enjoy the Ride Paper Pack with pink and gold ornament from the Jolly Ornaments. To create my ornament I used a hot foil technique using Hot Foil Roll - Brushed Gold (Satin). I cut it out using a coordinating die and blended over with Puffy Heart Fresh Dye Ink from Rose Petal Fresh Dye Ink Bundle. My last step was to do a hole with a hole puncher at the top of the ornament and add green ribbon.

'tis the season

That’s it for me, your next stop on the hop is Kristin Sluhan!
