Christmas Noel - Red

Good Morning & Welcome. Today's will be a scheduled post. I made 3 cards from the same lovely PSX stamp (K-1624). Each card is for one of my three beloved brothers & their wives. Here's the first one, that will go to Brother #1 (Mr. made the selections as to which brother got which card)

- Stamped with versamark, heat embossed with Ranger Queen's Gold. Colored with Pentel marker pens. IRL this just sparkles, not sure how well it shows up on the photo.

- Elizabeth Craft gold shimmer sheetz embossed with Sheena Douglas Holly EF. This EF produced a very nice emboss on the shimmer foil, which does not always happen with the less deeply etched embossing folders. The sheet was cut to fit the side borders, since the part under the focal image doesn't show anyway.

- Focal piece was die cut with a S/B die. Don't remember which decorative die it was, but the edge in one place tore just a bit as it was removed from the die. Rather than try to mend it, just snipped the outside part away with the scissors and liked the trim on the resulting edge.

Would also like to introduce 2 new followers: Kristie Goulet of Kreative Kristie. I found Kristie's link over at another blogger - and zipped over to see her cards. Do please take a few minutes and say Hello to Kristie.
and
AJ Bodine of RutabagaPie Designs. I found AJ over at Darnell's, and when Darnell mentioned that AJ was from North Carolina, I had to check out what a neighbor Carolinian was doing. Enjoyed very much seeing AJ's blog and I think you will too! Pop over to say Merry Christmas, if you've a minute or two for inspiration.

 

Stay tuned for 2 more versions of this same image...wonder which one you'll like best?! Thanks for joining me this morning. Hope you have a grand day coming up. Ours will be very busy! Big hugs.
