Leftovers for Christmas

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I have two Christmas cards today that use leftovers and NBUS.

I used a piece from my stash made with Gelli plates.  I embossed it with a NBUS

embossing folder and swiped a white inkpad over the raised design. 

The piece was quite large so I cut it in half to use on two cards.

I embossed the snowflakes on a background piece too.

This card uses left over snowflakes that were cut previously and not used.

I just layered up two of them and added a pearl in the center.

Then I used the leftover Gelli Plate background for another card.

This time I die cut the cardinal from red cardstock and used a sponge dauber to

add some black around the edges.  I just used the dauber with the ink left from

the last playtime. No need to re-ink.

 

The greenery has some Puff Embossing Powder to make it look snowy.
