TSOT #195 - Soft Christmas

Hello! I'm so sorry for the late post - but things have been busy!

Ok onto my card for this weeks Try Stampin' On Tuesday sketch:

The theme for this week is 'snow is coming' and the main panel on the sketch was to be patterned paper or stamped, so I went looking for a piece of DSP to suit. I found this one from the nordic noel pack and I love how soft and pretty it is.

I then went super simple for the rest of the card and used my Festival of Trees stamped in wild wasabi. I then heat embossed using a new to me powder called white pearl, by WOW. Oh my goodness this powder is stunning! It gives a beautiful pearly finish (this photo doesn't do it justice!) and softens the stamped image. I layered the image onto a wild wasabi oval and the sentiment is also embossed with the white pearl and is from Good Greetings.

Here's the sketch:

I hope you like my card and are able to join in with us this week.

Thank for looking :)

Motley Monsters Part 2

Hi! Welcome back to my second card using the Motley Monster designer paper. As I previously said, halloween isn't really a big thing here in Australia, so I wanted to be able to utilize this paper for other occasions.

When cutting this DSP, make sure that you cut a piece which has no eyes (unless you want them :) This card is a little darker than what I'm used to, but I like this look for the guys in our lives or for that lady who doesn't do frilly.

If you want to check out the first card in this series then click here. Also if you are looking for some sketch inspiration, you can see all the sketches I have done for Try Stampin' On Tuesday on my pintrest board, HERE.

Thanks for looking and come back in a few days and I'll show you card number three.
