Hi Friends! Hope you all had a great weekend! I enjoyed a Sunday full of football games, a little bit different than my hubby ;) I played around in my "studio" (aka kitchen) & made a Christmas card for this week's
JustRite Friday's Challenge:
Sharon challenged us to ink up our JustRite stamps using the following color combination dark red, ivory & black, with the added twist of creating our own handmade embellishment. How fun!
I inked up the elegant sentiment from
Christmas Nested Sentiments & Verse with VersaMark ink, embossed with silver embossing powder then used a
S5-025 Labels Seventeen die template to cut/emboss the image. I love the beautiful scripty font & it fits perfectly inside the elegant frame.
As for the homemade embellishments, I pulled out the
S4-283 2010 Heirloom Ornaments die templates used various sizes to cut/emboss
F-001 Red Premium Craft Foil then for a lil' dimension & character, I embossed them using the
I2-1014 Fleur De Lis Impressibilites® template. To reveal the metal, I lightly sanded off away some color. If you are interested in referring to a tutorial I wrote on this process, please feel free to click
HERE.
That's all for today! Thank so much for looking!
