A Simple Card

Today's card is a challenge from Serendipity Stamps. Our directive this time was to create a simple Christmas card. Aaaack! Let's face it, I am simple challenged! (No pun intended.) The more layers and embellishments I use, the happier I am. :)

I used the "Christmas Ball" image as the centerpiece. I stamped it in Versamark ink and then heat embossed it with Stampendous Embossing Powder. I colored the ribbon with Rhubarb Stalk Memento Marker and then added some silver glitter to the ornament. I then stamped and embossed the "Season's Greetings" sentiment. I used my Score Buddy to accent the sentiment without adding layers.

On a personal note, we're on baby watch for my son and daughter-in-law's first baby! He is due to arrive any day now and he will certainly add much joy this Christmas. I hope you have a blessed Christmas too!

It's Tea Time

Hey, It's tea time!

Today we focus in on some of the fun tea themed stamps found at Serendipity Stamps. I stamped Tea Border repeatedly to create a background and then stamped and cut out a portion of the Heart Cup image to use as an accent on the flower. Here's what the full image looks like:










Adorable! Makes me wish I were a tea drinker. It always sounds so much better than it tastes. I know, there are tea lovers out there that would say the same thing about coffee, right?
