A Trio of Easy Thank You Cards

 Hello! I hope you are doing well! I've made three simple cards using up some of my Christmas leftovers and a sentiment from a set in my stash. I thought these Tim Holtz Christmas Worn Wallpapers made a fabulous backdrop for these simple cards. I even got a chance to use up some of the scraps left on my work top. This is my version of Clean and Simple.

 The sentiment doesn't make a very clear image, but thankfully I used my Stamp Platform, so I was able to make multiple impressions on the Heavystock background. I inked in archival and then added some Distress Oxides and inks in vintage colors to the sentiment panels as well as the Wallpaper. I used Distress markers to add some highlights. The panels were cut with Stitched Squares dies and edged with Frayed Burlap ink.

I tucked in a Flurry 2 snowflake on two of them.

But decided I liked this one better without it. REALLY clean and simple!

  This one was inked a second time in Versamark and heat embossed with clear powder. Below are some closeups of those winter landscapes.

White Christmas

 Hello! I hope you are enjoying this Advent season and taking time to reflect on the birth of Christ and the hope He brings us. I spent a rainy weekend afternoon making some Christmas cards. I'd like to share this simple one with you today. I'll be back tomorrow with my Design Team project for Frilly and Funkie.

I cut Tim Holtz Tangled Twigs die from Metallic Kraft Stock, sanded  and heat embossed with sparkly powder. I layered this over a panel I colored with Distress Oxides, Weathered Wood and Stormy Sky. I tucked in a Flurry #2 snowflake cut from water color paper.

I cut a snow drift from the Home For the Holidays Thinlits set and heat embossed with more of the sparkly powder. I smudged shadows using Hickory Smoke Distress crayon and a very slightly dampened finger. A Paper Doll (I think he is from this year's release.) and a Remnant Rub from last year finish off this super simple card. I scuffed the Paper doll and colored with Gathered Twigs oxide ink and when the card was assembled I splattered with Picket Fence Distress paint using my Splatter Brush.

Merry Christmas!
