Making Merry Monday # 21

Another glittery Party Hearty number ... I really do love stamp sets that can multi-task - makes them an even better investment doesn't it - lol! 

I've used the snowflake from Winter Post with Versamark and dazzling diamonds for the background, a piece of Choc Chip grosgrain ribbon and then layers of choc chip and real red cardstock.  Love the party hats standing proud as Christmas trees and a simple saying from Many Merry Messages.  I've sponged the edges of the white and red cardstock just to add a finishing touch.

This is a simple and quick card ... one which could be duplicated quickly for those of us who are always in a rush at this time of year.

Hope you aren't panicking too much ... back next Monday with another one.

 

Making Merry Monday # 17

Another Winter Post with a beautiful word stamp from the Many Merry Messages set.  Kraft could be the 'new' Old Olive as I love the way this card has turned out.  

I've used some water colour paper and then some Old Olive and Real Red ink with an Aqua Painter to colour in the image.  The ink pads are really versatile if you use them in this way ... whilst the pad is closed you squeeze the box together to push the lid into the ink pad (don't panic the boxes are flexible enough to do this)  ... when you open the ink pad there is a 'pool' of ink inside the lid that you can now pick up with either the Aqua Painter for water colouring or the Blender Pens to make a marker pen ... how cool is that!

Back very soon with birthday news, more cards and evidence that you can turn a 'non-believer' into an addict in just one evening!

Hope you are having a very Merry Monday.

Love Nikki
