Dark Christmas

Well I wanted to try and make a Christmas Card with Very Dark Papers and you can't get any darker then using Black and Basic Grey just has it perfect with the Granola line So here's my card for my other half and it turned out not to girlie even though I did add glitter and bling and the little tree charm that I love so much and finally decided to use  it for this card. I hope he likes it :) I even stamped the Bg with Snowflakes and added black bling I was gonna use glitter glue but it didn't show up as well as I liked

WOYWW Merry Xmas

Well it's Been a while since I've posted a WOYWW. So I'm guessin I'm just like everyone else in the middle of finishing off the last of your xmas Cards/decorations and tags for all those prezzies you'll be givin out

As you can see I'm still making a few more cards but all and all I'm pretty organized

I love rubber stamping till I miss the middle which happens more then I'd like to admit but I love my motivet stamps alot it's a shame they are stopping making them into rubber :( but at least there still in digi format :)

Off to peak at some desks now :)

You can find the rest of the WOYWW buttons -->>here

Xmas Cards & a Tut on Aged Tags

Christmas is getting closer and here's 2 cards I've done up all for xmas to mail around the world :)
these are simple cards cause I wanted to show off the cute images (stamps from Motivet and I found out
that they are closing down their store so sad so get em while you can), One thing I love is Large Paint chips
they have such bold and beautiful colors they are the borders around each image so vibrant and if I paint the room the same color they go perfectly lol


Recipe - Motivet Stamps, Studio G sentiment, Die cut Florishes, Stampin Up Punch,
Papers-Cardstock,Daisy D's,the Paper Company & Paint Chips, Colored with touch Markers
Inks - Black & Red, Brown(chalk), Clear Stampin Up embossing

Challenges - Scrappy Frog - Merry Christmas 12/5
Crafty Pad - Red/Green 11/28
Let's Ink it Up - No Digi's & Recycle it Crazy 4 Challenges - Circles Our daily Bread - Hoilday Cards Hodge Podge - Anything Scrapbook Sisters Christmas tree ABC Christmas- X = Xmas Cards Only ABC - H = Hoildays Florishes - Christmas Simon Says Stamp & show - What makes you happy Paper Pals - Clean and Simple

Creating a Vintage/Aged Tag

I used a white tag and Stamped on the sentiment then using a lite brown chalk ink I ran it softly all over it and heavier around the edges then, Dipped it into my embossing powder (not Perfectly either) you want it to miss places and look a little bumpy then emboss it to set, take the same brown and rub it all over it again you'll now see the ink getting stuck inside the grooves and darking the paper that the embossing missed this time you want to emboss again with clear to set it and float some of the ink in the embossing this will add depth and some will be lighter and some ink darker and that's all I did have fun with it
(if you click on the 2nd card you'll see what I mean with missing embossing powder on 1st pass)
