Welcome

Meet today's card.

Couldn't be more simple to create using a piece of cardstock that I rolled excess paint off onto while Gel Plate printing and an embossing folder. 

So here's what I did to create my card.

• I began by looking through my stash of inked pieces, found this one and thought it would make a pretty card.  It was a piece of white cardstock that I had rolled paint off my brayer onto while Gel Plate printing.  I like to keep my 'roll offs' just for this reason.
• I took the panel and placed it into the Perfect Poinsettia embossing folder and ran it through my die cutting machine.  This folder from Altenew is a 3-D and gives such a wonderful impression.
• Next, using a sanding block, I sanded the paper carefully to remove some of the pink paint on the panel.  I love how it looked.
• I splattered with my white Posca pen to add more interest and to give a snowy feel to the flowers.
• I made sure to keep one of the little pieces that I cut from the paint roll off to use as the sentiment flag.  I placed the small piece into my Misti and stamped the 'Noel' onto it with some Versamark ink and then white heat embossed it.  
• I glued the sanded panel onto a heavy white card base, then pop dotted the sentiment at the top.
• Finally, I added a few clusters of some tiny white pearls.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
