Retro Christmas

I love weekends away to crop/stamp/craft with friends! That's where I am right now (glad there's internet access). Just had to share the card I'm working on today.



Using the More Hotel Signs set and lots of ivory cardstock - I began 80 cards (I sell them at craft fairs). Then I pulled out my Moulin Rouge, Jardin Moss, and Congac Palette ink pads - color was applied by dragging the cardstock across the ink pad. Here's the first 2 colors added:



After adding the final layers of color...I matted it on green cardstock from the Monochromatic cardstock pack. Then added the bling with my Stardust Clear Gelly Pen.
Other supplies used, Cha Cha hardware, Scarlet & Reece cardstock, and Burnt Umber Palette ink for distressing edges.

This blog update was supposed to be published over a month ago...but, the day I was working on it - my website wouldn't come up so I couldn't add the links. Lack of time has held it until now. In the future, if this happens again - I will post without links.

Nine Merry Christmas Cards



I promised Christmas cards in my last post...then my dog, Shadow, had ear scope surgery because of numerous infections. My week+ was spent in the livingroom caring for him. It was much more involved than we had expected. Shadow is doing better now, but still on meds.




I hope all of you are enjoying a wonderful Christmas Day - we are! For my craft fairs, I created a number of cards to sell...so these were all created in duplicate. If you would like any info on a card...just ask. Fortunately, all these cards were made, mailed & sold BEFORE dog issues escalated.
