Winter Blessings!

I absolutely LOVE all things Penny Black, can you tell? I have another couple of cards to share with you today!

This card has a dark blue A2 base. A light gray piece of card stock was cut to 3.75" x 5.5", and before doing anything else, the sentiment from Winter Sentiments was stamped at the upper right with Versafine Onyx Black ink. Have you ever assembled a card and THEN tried to stamp the sentiment? Not pretty! Snow was added by sprinkling on chunky white embossing powder heating from underneath. This piece was then adhered directly to the card front. 

The Poinsettia Cut Out was cut twice, one from a dark green card stock and another from a light blue card stock. The leaves were fussy cut from the light blue poinsettia, and Faded Jeans Distress Oxide was sponged outward from the center. It was then adhered to the matching green poinsettia. Gold glitter was added to the center and to the lines of the flower. The Winter Branch was cut from white card stock and separated into two pieces and adhered as shown. The assembled poinsettia was then added with foam tape. Done!

The card above has a light gray A2 card base. The Rows of Stitches die was first die cut onto a 5.5" piece of white card stock, and then trimmed to slightly less than 1" wide. This was added to the card base. The blue layer was cut using one of the dies from the Elegant Stitching set, and the top layer was cut from white card stock using the next size down of the same die. The sentiment from Smile All Season was stamped as shown with Versafine Onyx Black ink. The two layers were adhered together, and added to the card front with foam tape.

The Ornament Branch was cut twice, one from white card stock and the other from dark green. The leaves on the white piece were sponged with Peeled Paint Distress Oxide, and the ornament was sponged with Faded Jeans Distress Oxide. The ornament was removed from the dark green piece, and both pieces were then adhered as shown onto the card front, with a piece of foam tape added behind the ornament. The 3 Snowflakes dies were cut from white card stock, and added as shown. Pearl gems were added to complete the card.

I sure hope these cards bring some inspiration to you, if not for this year, then a head start on next year! Thanks for stopping by!
