Always Grateful

My favorite stamp set Always Grateful (C1559  $13.95) works for so many different times of the year. We made this at the last Christmas card workshop & the ladies loved it!!






Starting with a 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" NE Ivy card base then layering on a Colonial White 5 1/4" x 4" cs. On the Col White piece about 1" from bottom dry emboss 2 lines, leave about 1 1/2" space then dry emboss 2 more lines. Mask the dry embossed lines and then sponge with NE Ivy ink in circular motions the open space between the embossed lines. Once you like how much coverage you have remove the mask.
Stamp with Cocoa ink the tree and sentiment.
Mount the Col White layering piece to card base.

Enjoy your day

This was a card I made for my national swaps and taught in my September card workshops. It is soooo easy to do.

 

The base card is 4"x6" Autumn Terracotta

The layer is Champagne embossed with the Quatrefoil Embossing Folder (Z1926  $8.95)

Then Black cardstock corners rounded layered with Champagne cardstock also corners rounded
With a 1 1/2" circle mask at the top of the piece I sponged Sunset then Autumn Terracotta then Honey Ink. I used a rubbing motion to get the solid appearance.
Remove the circle mask
Stamp with Black ink using Always Grateful (C1559  $13.95)

Using the Scallop Border Punch (Z1851  $17.95) add the Black cardstock edging
