I inked up the Hero Arts Tiny Flakes Cling stamp with PTI Fresh Snow Ink and stamped a kraft card base. I don't know about you but I have always had trouble with stamping large stamped images. It seems that there is always part of it missing. Well squeal with delight, perfect the first time! No turn overs or do overs tonight. I cut my focal panel in Pure Poppy using a Spellbinders Long Scalloped Rectangle which I tied with bakers twine, tucked my sentiment behind it, added a clear embossed Christmas Tree and finished it off with some loopy border die. Am I in the Christmas spirit now? Maybe a bit, but this weekend is all about turkey and pumpkin pie.

ReplyDeleteI thought it was just me with the big stamps! This is a super cute card. I love the look of that long scalloped rectangle, and your whole card just says 'merry' to me.
ReplyDeleteCute Christmas tree stamp. love the loopy circles and your choice of colours. Thanks for joining us at Dynamic Duos this week Tracey.
ReplyDeleteYour card is lovely. ;-) I love the white on kraft background, and that cute little tree with the twine behind. The loopy border is great! And you're not alone - I have to re-cut and turn over things ALL THE TIME. Kind of irritating sometimes - I wish I could get it right once and not have to spend the extra time that I really don't have. *head shaking* Anyway, your card is so sweet - I love it. ;-) Happy Thanksgiving next week! I hope it will be a fun time for you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet idea , Tracey! Not sure if I have trouble or not with large images. If its just the stamp and I leave it alone , I am fine. Fun card!
