and I'm so excited to share with you that I'm Guest Designing at
Craft Stampers Magazine!
I won their October Take It Make It challenge with this card.
They honored me with a Winner's Profile on this post.
Thanks so much to the talented gals at Craft Stamper Magazine!
Now about this card...
I've used Iced Spruce Distress Oxide inks smooshed on a craft mat
and splash it with some mixed media paper.
This beautiful lamp post was place in my MISTI and stamped with black ink.
When the ink was dry, I stamped again with VersaMark and heat embossed
it with clear powder.
I stamped the berries in the bottom corner and clear heat embossed them too
so they would be shiny.
I decorated the lamp post with some punched greenery and a little bow
and berries.
I hope you'll join the Take It Make It Challenge at
Craft Stampers Magazine.
You could be a future Guest Designer!
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!
