I am still so in love with this stamp set, and think it makes the most beautiful cards! I blended Old Olive and Mossy Meadow inks with a blending tool directly onto the holly leaf stamps, and then used Always Artichoke, Certainly Celery, Cherry Cobbler, & Real Red inks for the rest of the spruce and sprigs. Can you see those tiny, tiny buttons I glued on to the berries? The hardest part of making this card was gluing on those buttons because they were so hard to hold on to...if I had been thinking clearer, I would have used my pick-me-up stick! I gold embossed my sentiment which is from WPlus9's Christmas Greetings stamp set. I also used Spectrum Noir's Sparkle Pen on the two berry sprigs at the top of the card, so IRL they really sparkle!

ReplyDeleteSuper sweet card, Marcia! I love the buttons on the berries. So clever!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, card Marcia. So sorry to hear about your mom, but glad she is on the mend. Was wondering where you were.
ReplyDeleteMarcia, I love how you used all those spruces and sprigs, this is gorgeous! I was sorry to read about your mom and glad she is well enough that you are home and crafting again, we missed you. I know about how the elderly can effect us, my 94 year old dad fell and it was quite an ordeal, ended up in the hospital and even a rehab place for two weeks. I will pray for your mom! Thanks for joining us at MM...I did have to take a closer look for the buttons, but I spied them! Good job, my friend!
