Use It UP! Friday

This one didn't turn out like I wanted. I used Vanilla Craft ink and clear embossing powder for the doily image. I think it is too yellow. Next time I will stick with versamark and clear EP. That way the color of the card stock will show through. 

Live and learn. :-)

Tag #11

I made this one using Wisteria Wonder and Crumb Cake inks, on Whisper White CS. Not traditional Christmas colors, but you could use any color combinations you love. The Hello Doily background stamp is an impressive stamp -look at all that detail that is revealed after embossing and sponging ink to reveal the doily. LOVE this!
