September 8, 2023 - Christmas with Spinach and Ramona - CLR288

Happy Friday, Pals!  I hope you have had an amazing week!  Kim here to share another, very different card that I created using the Christmas with Spinach and Ramona stamp set. 

I wanted to show a different way to use this stamp set, so I dug into my toolbox of techniques, and pulled one out from WAY back!  This stamp set has some great smaller stamps included, and I decided to create a background using the smallest snowflake stamp.  I stamped it all over a white card panel using Versamark ink, and I heat embossed it using a glorious sparkly embossing powder. 

I ink blended over the embossed panel using shades of aqua, lavender, and purple.  Once I was happy with the color saturation, I rubbed the embossed areas with a clean tea towel, which removed the ink from the embossed surface.  (If you are not familiar with this technique, it is called Emboss Resist - essentially, the embossing resists the ink.)

I created a beautiful rosette using paper in the same colors and added a loopy white bow and a button to the front of it.  If you wanted to be really fancy, you could adhere the rosette with a removable glue dot, and string a ribbon from it so that it could be used as an ornament.   Lastly, I added a sentiment strip, embossed in the same sparkly powder. 


I really love the non-traditional holiday color palette!  It is so soft and beautiful!  

Thanks so much for spending a few minutes with me. 

Xoxo, Kim
