Hi Stampers, whoo hoo, happy long weekend to you.

HERE IS MY HOLIDAY SHARE information for you

It gets you a little working/playing supply of all the great new products in the Holiday Mini Catalog!

I know I'm supposed to be doing a 10 minute card today, but, I had a little creative fun making my hubby's anniversary card yesterday, so I wanted to share it with you.

I started with one of my all time favorite stamp sets, French Foliage, I can't tell you how excited I was when I saw it in the new catalog, playing with it for only 3 months in the mini, was just not long enough it just has too many beautiful elements to it.

I first sponged the leaves, stamped them, cut them out and sponged the edges

I distressed my layers, and sponged them with Island Indigo, then Soft Suede

Tore the corner off, and added a little piece of the designer paper I used on the bottom of the card, this one is from Mocha Morning Specialty, and it is flocked with Black Felt – nothing but the best for my guy, tee hee…

I laid the leaves face down in my versamark ink,

Covered them with clear embossing powder and heat set them to melt the powder

This sealed in all that beautiful color and added a nice texture to them

here are the 3 of them.
