Poinsettia Petals &
Dove of Hope

I have been playing around with some of my new goodies, and wanted to share my latest creation.

I used some of the new Red Velvet paper, Green Foil, and more. 

Recipe: (building from base)

• The base is an 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of Real Red, scored at 4 1/4.
• The Silver Foil layer is 5 1/4 x 4.
• The Garden Green layer is 5 x 3 3/4 and is embossed with the Greenery Embossing Folder.
• The 3 x 3 square of 'Tis the Season DSP, is cut at a diagonal from corner to corner.
• The Green Foil and the Red Velvet poinsettia are cut out with the Poinsettia Dies.
• A Beaded Pearl is added to the center of the Poinsettia.  These pearls are beautiful.  Really, they are.
• The words from Dove of Hope are stamped on a 3 x 5/8 piece of Whisper White with Mossy Meadow ink, and the edges are sponged with the same ink.
• All done and remember to decorate your envelope.

Ridiculously Awesome

This card focuses on the stamp set, Ridiculously Awesome, and the Basic Pattern Decorative Masks.  My sweet friend, Wendie, created this card, and I think this color combination is very pretty.

This is a similar technique I used to make the cards on my post of 8/21/2020.

Recipe: (building from base)

• The base is an 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of Balmy Blue, scored at 4 1/4.
• The Basic Gray layer is 5 1/4 x 4.
• The Whisper White layer is 5 x 3 3/4.
• Wendie laid one of the Basic Pattern masks on the cardstock, and sponged the cardstock with Balmy Blue.  Beautiful effect. 
• The Stitched So Sweetly Dies are used to cut out the Basic Gray and the Whisper White pieces on which the words are stamped with Tuxedo Memento Black ink.
• These two pieces are popped up with dimensionals.
• The three beautiful gems are from the Blue Adhesive-Backed Gems pack. (page 37 of the 2020 Holiday mini).
• All done and remember to decorate your envelope.
