Scentsational # 3

I used the new Textured Impressions Embossing Folder – Holiday Frame on Early Espresso core-dinations paper and lightly sanded it to create this vintage type background.  Also strips of DSP from the Festival of Prints pack to “frame” it  and champagne glimmer paper to make it pop. Here’s the inside.  Trying to think outside the box, […]

Happy Halloween!

Just a quick card (from my personal collection) to wish everyone a Happy Halloween.  I’ve used the new glimmer brads and the sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes on page 86 of the Main Idea Book & Catalogue.  The background is the jumbo “Texture” wheel inked in Old Olive. It’s been rather quiet on my […]
