Made this using the Etched Snowflake background stamp from the new Simon Says Stamp Hey Bestie release. I used a technique that the amazing Yana Smakula uses frequently that involves heat embossing the background with embossing powder and then inking the edges so that it brings the focus on the center of the card panel. For this one I did tone on tone. I used the SSS Snowflake die set to die cut the tag from vellum and then emboss with the sentiment in gold (from the SSS stamp set Snow Much Thanks). The snowflake was die cut from gold cardstock and adhered behind the tag. Finished with a bow tied with dark red baker's twine.

Nothing beats pigment inks for stamping on colored cardstock. I started with @heroarts Pebble cardstock and @crafterscompanion metallic pigment inks to stamp the first layer of @simonsaysstamp Snowflake Builder, from their January 2020 card kit. Then I heat embossed the second layer with @wowembossing Cloud 9. I went through my stamps and found a few tinier snowflakes which I watermarked on the background. A frame and sentiment (also from Simon) and gems on the centers to complete this card.

A fun Easter/spring card for the sssflickrchallenge#93

Recently got this sweet Evergreen Circle die from Simon Says Stamp so I used it for the current SSS flickr challenge to use die cuts. I pulled out my long neglected alcohol inks, watched a video and created the panel that I die cut the circle from. Die cut the circle a second time with a circle die to create the border. The sentiment is from the SSS set I See You. I inked up a circle using distress oxide inks in Broken China and Salty Ocean then sprinkled with a bit of water. I had wanted the circle to be more in the corner then it is so it just looks weirdly off center, lol! Adding this to SSS Wednesday challenge, too.

I created this card for Day 1 of the Online Card Classes Background Check.

I'm adding this to the Simon Says Stamp Flickr Challenge 24. Simon products used are Sending die, Best Fishes Stamp set, and Waves stencil.

Embossed in Platinum and coloured with Copics : W1, W3, W5.

my card for the current SSS flickr challenge of anything goes. I used the SSS set Artful Flowers and the matching dies for the flowers and the sentiment came from the SSS set sparkle & shine. I die cut the flowers and then colored them with Ranger Distress Oxide ink in worn lipstick. Sprinkled on some water and then stamped the outline flower images from the set using regular Ranger worn lipstick distress ink. The leaves and stems were die cut and then inked with Ranger Distress Oxide ink in peeled paint and sprinkled with water. I inked up a piece of woodgrain cardstock with Ranger Distress Oxide ink in broken china and then sprinkled with water. sentiment was stamped in watermark ink and then heat embossed with white embossing powder.

Adding this to the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of a touch of pink.

Day 10 over at Ellen Hutson's 12 Tags of Christmas was another sketch. Plus, lots of Lawn Fawn! So I pulled out the Ready, Set, Snow set from Lawn Fawn for this card. I used the sentiment from Toboggan Together and embossed it in white.

I used 2 of my standby Simon Says Stamp Dies for this - the Large Tags Die, and the Stitched Circle. Two sets I reach for all the time. The theme for SSSFlickrChallenge#34 this time is die cutting as we wrap up Die-Cember. So I'm also entering over there.

And finally, the Lawnscaping Challenge this round is "Tag It," so I'm also entering there.
