Card Recipe

To make this card I arranged all the sentiments until I was happy with them,
closed my MISTI to mount the stamps, inked and stamped on my white piece.

They all stamped beautifully the first time.

Then a little embossing and decorating the "tree" and it was done.

Stamps:  Mixed Christmas Sentiments (Happy Little Stampers)
Ink:  Mossy Meadow, Soft Suede (SU)
Paper:  Mossy Meadow, Whisper White, Red Glimmer (SU)
Other:  Scrollwork EF (Cuttlebug), Red Gems (Stash)

    I just love this! I remember Korin Sutherland did a tree like this with her sentiments and I have never forgotten how clever it was! You hit another one out of the Christmas card park, LOL!!!

    Absolutely STUNNING Bonnie! What got me most was that I was sure this was one stamp - you clever little sausage! Beautifully done and the little red gems are a lovely finishing touch. Of course, I also recognise the embossing folder from when you won it in the Playground - it always thrills me to see people using their goodies :)

    AND, you have a Misti - lucky, lucky you!!

    Hugs

    Di xx

    Gorgeous card! I am a traditional red/green for Christmas girl, and IMHO embossing is the best technique ever, so I really love your card!!

    Love the card Bonnie. You did all that work yourself? Wow. I thought it was one stamp so that is great advertising for the Misti. And I always love the use of embossing folders. Have a great week. Barb
