Clean and Simple Holiday Cards

Finding your own way sometimes isn’t that easy. Used the tree line die from MFT to start the card. Found that the LF Stitched Snowflakes made a great background. Detailed the snowflakes with Ranger Silver Fine Embossing Powder and the “Merry Christmas” from PTI peaceful pinecones .  My card was done on Solar White Neehan Card Stock #110 lb and #80lb card stock.

Watercolor Marker

Using distress markers I made this card.  Really liked what it turned out to look like. I used Canson Cold Press 140 lb watercolor paper and the Penny Black Dahlias Stamp set.  I stamped the stamp with Versafine and Hero Thinking of YouArts Embossing Powder with Ultra fine White Embossing Powder. After heat setting the paper, I used distress markers of worn lipstick, mowed lawn, shabby shutters and spun sugar. I decided to back the card to pink bazzill card stock and to use the SSS diagonal stripes background with versafine and the Hero Arts Embossing Powder of Ultrafine White to get a background. Used the SSS summer garden stamp set for the Thinking of You.
