I loved this stamp from Hero Arts when I first saw it and I’ve used it one other time but when I saw Jennifer McQuire’s video with the embossing and resist,  I knew I’d have to try it some day!  This is what I came up with for ATC’s… all Hero Arts stamps…van dyke brown ink and distress inks…ink blending tool…SU word window punch…7gypsies clips…Bazzil and Tim Holtz itty bitty brads…EK Success retro flower punches and dictionary page! I tried stamping the words with Staz-on black ink over the embossing,  some it worked on and some,  not so great! lol   More ATC’s to come I hope….

AND for some FUN NEWS… I’m going to join  the Design Team at Inky Impressions again! I’ve missed coloring them!  There are new images too,  can’t wait!  Thanks for coming by my blog… I love it that I don’t have to get dressed up to have company!

Our images and sponsor this time is DZ Doodles Digi images.  Play along for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate from DZ Doodles and FOUR copic sketch markers from 7KidsCollegeFund.com.

I colored paper roses, small and medium from 7KidsCollegeFund.com with copic marker E07 to match the pattern paper. I punched leaves with the Martha Stewart branch punch and a Birch leaf punch out of white card-stock and colored them with copic markers, YG 93, 95, 97, 99. The ribbon is from Basic Grey.  The crackle stamp is from Magenta…I inked with antique linen distress ink to stamp it multiple times, same ink and ink blending tool to antique the edges. Stampin up and Prism card-stocks for matting.

I cut all the paper layers with my Tonic Trimmer, can’t stamp without it!  The cross is printed on Neenah Classic Crest Super-smooth 80# card-stock and colored with the following copic markers….

  • nails – W1, 2, 3, 5, 7,  C1, E3, 19
  • crown – E43, 44, 47

I stamped this Little Sleuth from High Hopes stamps in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored him with copic sketch markers.  I stamped on eclipse tape and cut it out inside the lines to mask him and stamp the Map stamp from Toybox for the background.  Explore your World stamp is from Printworks.  I punched little red hearts for one and used K&Co puffy heart stickers on the other.  I put stickles glitter glue on both sets of hearts…

Appreciate you stopping and reading this long post! eek!  sorry…but hopefully I answered any questions you’ve thought of! lol

I hope I’m not the only one finishing up Christmas “plans”! lol This is a Vintage Santa ATC for a swap that was supposed to be with the Vintage Photo Image ATC yahoo group but I didn’t get it done in time! *sigh* I had to go ahead and make it though because I liked the image so well.
I used an old PSX “K” size stamp for the background…stamped in Versafine onyx black ink and a little green color pencil added to the leaves. I colored  3 mm white brads from CTMH with my copic sketch marker E51 and used them for the mistletoe berries.  The pattern paper is from K & Company.  German Scrap that I cut apart.  Hero Arts and Inkadinkado postage type stamps. Distressed edges with Ranger Distress Ink.

I’m delighted to be on the 7 Kids College Fund online store’s Design Team for the next six months…read about it here.

And for more coloring fun,  I’ll be one of the guest designers for January and February for LaLa Land Crafts.

This should keep me busy and not thinking about how cold it is!  It’s up to 1˚ here today!  BRRRRR

Merry Winter and all the best to you and yours in this New Year!
