Pemberley Card

Flirty Card

This was completed using Close to my Hearts Flirty paper and stamp set. Some gold embossing adds a little dimension.  Ink colors include, saddle, blush, olive and cashmere.

Monogram Card Bee Happy

 I used one of my favorite stamp sets, Close to my Heart's Bee Happy.  I really love the little bees.  I heat embossed the monogram stamps, the leaves of the flower are done in Olive embossing and the bee hive was done in white embossing..  A little stardust glitter adds a touch sparkle.

It's Snowing

This was completed using Close to my Heart Indian Corn Blue ink which was applied to a white card using a sponge and then over stamped using a snowflake stamp spritzed with CTMH stamp cleaner to give a lite bleaching effect.  I then stamped larger snowflakes using outdoor denim and smaller snowflakes with white daisy.  The mittens are stamped with Ruby ink on a distressed piece of CTMH Typeset paper.  I added a little stardust glitz gel for a frosty appearance and a small amount of ribbon.

I'm just playing around with some bleaching techniques that will work with out using bleach on my acrylic stamps  So far the stamp cleaner does the best job.

Valentine Card

This was completed using January's stamp of the Month, Ruby and Indian Corn Blue inks.  I used a sheet of ledger like paper from Close to my Heart's retired Typeset paper packet and stamped on it.  I love using this type of paper as it adds to the overall distressed look. (distressing being my favorite thing to do).  The small bit of ribbon came from Close to my Heart's Blue ribbon collection. A touch of glitz gel was added to the roses for a bit of sparkle.
