Home for Christmas.
I think that's what we all want for the holidays.
Another simple card today using an embossed background using a Sizzix Embossing Folder.
TIP: to get a deep impression when embossing, lightly spray the paper with water before running it through your machine.
I stamped this wonderful postcard image from Impression Obsession and cut it down using a circle die. It is a very large stamp and I wanted to highlight just the house part of the image.
I stamped the sentiment from Hero Arts and pop dotted the scene over the snowflake bkg.
Adding my card to these challenges:
Simon Says- ICE INSPIRATION
The Male Room- WINTER/CHRISTMAS WISHES
Craft Stamper- SNOW AND ICE
The Crafter's Cafe- CHRISTMAS/BIRTHDAY
Let's Craft and Create- CHRISTMAS
Thanks for coming by and taking a look.
Supplies: stamps- Hero Arts, Impression Obsession/ eb folder- Sizzix/ blue pearl/ Cuttlebug/ ink-Memento/ pop dots/ circle die
Lovely design and use of EFs! <3 Hugs, Autumn
