Busy, busy day, but I wanted to post my Merry Monday card.
I love this simple sketch.
And did you notice that I used DSP? Yeah, me!
I stamped the ornament on Blushing Bride with Real Red, then smacked it with my VersaMark pad and clear embossed. I used a glue pen to line the pink parts and sprinkled Dazzling Diamond on it to give it some sparkle. I wasn't sure whether the glue would stick to the embossing, but so far, so good. I added some sparkle to the boughs too. In hindsight, I should have stamped the boughs at a different angle. Maybe I'll remember that next time.
The ribbon is stamped in Encore Gold and heat embossed with Gold.
The design piece is 2" x 4", the red mat is 1/8" larger and the white behind that is 1/8" larger still. The red band is 1 3/4" x 4 1/4" and was a scrap piece of textured Real Red. The DSP is 4" x 5 1/4". It's actually 2 pieces that were in my scrap box. The band covers the seam.
I used my Stamp-a-majig for placement and did the sentiment in two steps instead of all on one line.
All supplies are Stampin' Up!
