The BYSHC Linky Party event is motivation to work on building my stash of Christmas cards! This one is simple enough to mass produce, yet easily add details so it looks more personalized. The image is Merry Little Christmas from Pink Fresh Studios. It's an A2 background-sized stamp with a center piece that you can pop out - but I love the sentiment, script, and size, so I chose to leave it in. I started by heat embossing several card fronts with sponsor, Taylored Expressions Fine Detail Copper Embossing Powder and then played around blending Distress inks around the edges. I pulled out my Prismacolor pencils to add color and even added white gel pen dot highlights to some of the cards. I love the look of this copper embossing powder! It covers really well and is a great "buy" for $6.00!!
Today is Day 3 of the BYSHC Linky Party; it goes through April 29th! Check out the blog for the list of fabulous sponsors, prizes, discounts!! All you have to do is enter a card for a chance to win!!
