Festive Friday Guest Designer

Festive Friday, Play Here

I received a happy email from Ardyth asking me I  would like to be a guest designer for Festive Friday .... Of course I said yes!!!

Mistletoe is from Serendipity Stamps and the sentiment is from Hobby Lobby Stampabilities.

Hello and welcome to another Festive Friday challenge. I am so happy to be a GD this week.

I chose the colors from the beautiful inspiration photo, browns and rusty reds with leaves and ribbon. I stamped, embossed and used glossy accents here and there. I did a bit of fussy cutting and foam tape to add some dimension to my card. The white layers is watercolor paper. I blended and painted on this card. 

 Did you know Stamping Up inks blend with water? I thought only distress ink and markers did that. The fussy cut layers are blended SU inks.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Hello, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. 

We spent ours with family and friends. Not much time for crafting though. 

I missed playing in Merry Monday .. just way to much going on last few weeks. I knew after seeing the DT cards that I wanted to play. 

I used the Holly stamp from Serendipity Stamps. I love it when a card comes together in a matter of minutes. ( not loving it when the photos give me trouble ) I cut a bit off the front of the card and added a strip of gold foil paper to the bottom.  I fussy cut the image and used foam tape to adhere to the card.  

Hope you have a wonderful week!
