Winterish Day

To make this card I colored the negative portion of the woodgrain embossing folder with a crumb cake marker before embossing the white cardstock. Punched corners with ticket punch. Matted with espresso; punched corners with ticket punch.

Stamped lovely as a tree in black stazon, then sponged crumb cake, espresso, baja breeze, not quite navy, and going gray; cut with labels framelit.

Cut crumb cake with labels framelit, embossed with square lattice EF. Added decorative label in baja breeze, and modern label in espresso.

Stamped happy birthday from teeny tiny wishes set in not quite navy, punched with word window and matted with modern label. Added mini brads and small circle from itty bitty punch (I punched this out of the embossed woodgrain before adhereing the tree). Adhered to crumb cake card.

(Added espresso sponging to the edge of all the pieces before adhering)

Simple Reason to Smile

This card is for another workshop I am teaching at the Hayden library. Trying to keep it simple but still cute. This flower is from the reason to smile set. I also used the petals a plenty EF, the word window punch, and the itty bitty punches. I stamped the flowers in real red, calypso coral and pretty in pink.
