Is it too late for a Christmas Card?

This card was my idea for my Christmas card! It took me a long time to find the right placement and color combo. I invested a lot of time in the design. Then on Oct. 6th my daughter was diagnosed with Pancreatitis. This is an unbelievable condition from which she is still recovering 4 months later! So, here is the Christmas card!

The background is Ellen Hutson's Twelve Days embossed in gold. The partridge, pear and sentiment  are by Hero Arts from the Color Layering Partridge set.

Fabulous Flower

I love these stamps! They are such a "gift" (heehee).

I used Zig Clean Color watercolors of the flower and Versamark ink with white Stampendous embossing powder!

Unity Itty Bitty Challenge - Thursday

Here is Thursday's entry ino the Unity Itty Bitty Challenge! I used the "Day & Night" Itty Bitty. I used VersaMark and Stampin' Up's Gold Glory Emboss Powder on the stamped images. The wooden clock is from Prima. The patterned paper is Simple Stories "Documented".  The ribbon is Berwick. The card was cut with Stephanie Barnard's Flip-it Die for Sizzix.

Unity's Creative/Coloring Contest! and FWF 7.26.13

The background I made by embossing with Cuttlebug's "Seeing Spots" folder. Then I stamped (mostly the raised dots) with Rubber Stampede's "Crackled Background" using Memento's Rich Cocoa. Then I used VersaMark and a clear embossing powder, again trying for just the dots. Next, I used Heidi Swapp's Color Shine in Mustard, Peach and Tropicana Teal.

The free image from Unity was printed on a transparency and colored with Copics.
