Yesterday was a great day spent with my sister Peggy. Although we talk 2-3 times a week it’s been over a month since we’ve seen each other and that’s just far too long. We chatted, stamped, ate, and prepped for the Expo we’re teaching classes at next weekend. Just after dark I started the 1 1/2 hour drive home. Of course that’s when it decided to snow our first real snow fall. We’ve had a little dusting a couple days already, but this time the snow stuck around. As I was driving and the snow was swirling across the road, it made me think of this card we had made at Stamp & Go club this past week.
The “Ornamental Pines” stamp set was stamped in Versa Mark and heat embossed with White Embossing powder on Night of Navy card stock. I used my Blendabilities to color right on top of the Embossed pine needles and pinecones. I love this look because we don’t generally get to see vivid colors on dark card stock. Next I inked up the “splatters” from “Gorgeous Grunge” (this set is a must have in case you didn’t know) in Versamark and stamped all over the card stock including directly over the previous image and all over the card stock. I heat embossed once more with White Embossing powder and there you have the first snow fall of the season.
