Sweet Gingerbread House

Hello! Today I have a Sweet gingerbread House in a snow globe! I just love this sweet image and I couldn’t resist coloring it up in pinks and light greens in a no-line colored look.

I used quite a bit of masking for this project…stamping one image at a time then masking off to stamp the next. I first stamped the lollipops, then masked them off. Next I stamped the gingerbread house and masked that off. Then I stamped the snowflakes.

After the scene was completely finished, I masked off the ENTIRE snow globe so I could add those starlight mints!

I love the A2 Starlight Mints stencil! I used pink and light grey ink here, but you could ink in a traditional red color OR try a light green for a wintergreen mint!

Next I heat embossed the sentiment with metallic embossing powder. I couldn’t resist adding a little deer from the What’s Up, Deer stamp set. He’s so cute!

I matted the entire panel onto some metallic silver cardstock and I love how it plays nicely with that embossing powder!

The Port at Sunset

Hello! Today I have a simple card with a sunset feel…I love cards like these that have such an impact, but are so easy to make!

I first stamped the brushstroke background stamp in yellow ink. Then I added some Red Leicester and Pink Flamingo inks just around the edges. I blotted the ink before stamping so as not to get harsh lines.

I then stamped the ship images over the top, with the sentiment in Eclipse Black ink.

To complete this card, I used some yellow cardstock as a mat. VOILA! A simple and stunning card!
