The Details: Memento Northern Pine & Pistachio ink, Versa Magic Red Magic Chalk ink, Paper studio embossing folder, Q-tip (to dot the chalk ink on card 1), Bazzill red card stock, Pop Tone craft card stock, PTI white card stock, Xmas Red Stickles, Penny Black sentiments ("wishing you health and happiness all through the year" and "best wishes for a wonderful holiday and a happy New Year"), sponge dauber.
I'm entering this in the following challenges: Curtain Call Welcome Home, Festive Friday Wreath, Cute Card Thursday Sparkles, Simon Says Wednesday Anything Goes, Weekly Christmas Card Challenges #48 Bows, Addicted to Stamps and More #69 CAS, and CAS-ual Fridays CFC119 Embossing.
The first card pops more, but I really like the more subtle coloring of the 2nd card. Both are lovely! :0)
ReplyDeleteGreat cards! I too have made some wreath cards lately. My first ones and I love them. The embossing in the background really helps them pop. Thanks so much for playing along at ATSM xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful technique! Beatifully done! In keeping with the optional challenge of bows at Chirstmas Card Challenges too. TYFS and playing along at CCC#48 this week.
ReplyDeleteI have to say that the result for both are stunning. Something new to try! Thank you so much for joining us at the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge!
ReplyDeleteOh, NO WAY! You are a genius - what a clever, clever use of the embossing folder and a dauber! I'm definitely going to remember this technique for future casing! Thanks so much for joining us at Festive Friday!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these! I think this is so incredibly clever, and they both look so different (I see why you can't pick a fave!). Thank you so much for sharing these with us at Festive Friday!
