I have a couple of card made up for today. This first one uses the new Plain Jane called Every Heart.
I stamped this gorgeous sentiment in Versamark and then heat embossed with gold powder. I painted the edges and center of the card base with Wink of Stella so it looks like I actually have a shimmery card base. LOVE that stuff! I added in some music imprinted paper and then finished it off with this little poinsettia.
This next card uses the new Christmas Joy set...
I stamped this adorable little penguin on the tag and colored him with Prismas and OMS. I added the tag to the card, after I stamped some snowflakes inside and added a clear card stock middle...
