GUEST STAR STAMPER AT COLOR THROWDOWN THIS WEEK!

 Hello, and welcome!  

Thrilled to pieces to be playing along with the challenge theme at the Color Throwdown Challenge Blog as Guest Star Stamper this week!

Here is the prompt, and two Christmas cards I was inspired to create:



CARD #1


TECHNIQUE

direct to paper (ornament outlines)
heat embossing (sentiment, bulb collars)

I happened to see Pauline's card not too long ago, which reminded me how fun this pointilism technique can look, especially at holiday time!

CARD #2


TECHNIQUE
