Hi there blog friends – yes, I’m still here. It’s been a challenging month and I have not felt well; being under the weather kept me away for a bit! I have two new cards today and new dies to show and you know that makes my heart sing! I hope you can peek in for a minute – I’ve been missing you all. The first card I’m sharing has a little bit of a vintage flavor. I used a faux batik technique to highlight the beautiful Embroidered Background Stamp by JustRite Papercrafts. So many people have shared this technique online so do a google to get the basics. I took the clean way out and instead of spritzing or using anything wet, I simple used daubers to put color where I wanted before covering and ironing off the embossing powder – I think it gives a subtle, random, aged coloring. Then of course a layered up a group of dies! On the bottom I started with JustRite Nested Medallion Label Dies, then stacked Spellbinders™ Vintage Lace Motifs followed by Spellbinders™ Classic Circles SM, followed by JustRite Antique Label One and finally JustRite Antique Tags One. I separated each layer with thin foam tape and really, the build up is not too much.
I added some pearls and eyelet lace that I distressed a little bit with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

Adding again to my Christmas stash, I used the O Christmas Tree stamp from Our Daily Bread Designs. I paired it with a wonderful new Spellbinders™ Medallion Five die template. Love! Love! Love!! I embellished the bottom of the card with Spellbinders™ Asian Accents and Spellbinders™ Classic Edges One and offset the scallops and finished off with a a tiny oval tag from Spellbinders™ Back to Basics Tags.
