Welcome Home

Here's another Christmas card – it's getting close to time to really think about making our Christmas cards! 

 

My apologies that my photos are not coming out very well.  Hubby is making a light box for me and that should help tremendously with the pictures.  It's been hard to find a place to take the pictures where the light is good and the background is good…….

 

Back to the card.  It's monochromatic today —  Baja Breeze and Not Quite Navy.  I got the color combination from our new Color Coach! 

 

The Not Quite Navy layer is textured with the Petals-a-Plenty embossing folder.  If you don't have a Big Shot, you really need one.

 

The technique I used is a cool one — the image is inked up with Versamark, then inked with the classic ink pad, and then stamped on the cardstock.  While it is still a little damp, sprinkle clear embossing powder over the image and heat.  I love the colored image!  It needed a little bling, so I added Dazzling Diamonds.  I like it!  I hope you do, too.
