Merry Monday #153

 I made this card for this week's Merry Monday Challenge #153.

To use an Angel on your card

The challenge can be found here...

 The stamp that I used is an OLD stamp that I purchased many years ago.  The stamp is from
Rubber Stampede.  It's a large stamp and a busy stamp, so I kept my card kind of plain.
I heat embossed my image with embossing powder, and my sentiment is from Sweet 'n Sassy stamps.
(It's also the only Angel stamp that I have...)

Below is something that just arrived in the mail.  Hubby purchased this for me as an early birthday present.  I have not used it yet....but I can't wait to give it a try...  Before I use it I want to go on some of the utube tutorials for using a Misti.

Thank you for the Christmas Challenges.  It helps me to keep at it through the year so I don't feel so panicky when Christmas comes around and my cards are not anywhere finished.  smile

Hope everyone is having a good day..
Blessings,
Jill

Happy New Year

My SU demo sent me a card similar to this one last year.  I so liked her card that I had to try and case it.  Of course, hers looked better, but I still like the way this turned out. 
She used Stamping up stamps for her card, I used Rubber Stampede, and Posh Impressions for my trees, and A SweetNSassy stamp for my sentiment.  I used a spellbinder oval die, and Versamark for my white and silver embossing powder.  I used Tim Holtz, broken China distress ink to sponge my background, added a Stamping Up ribbon and dimensionals to pop up my tree.

Thanks for stopping by...

Twisted Sisters Challenge

This is just a CAS card that I made for this week's Twisted Sisters Challenge at Split Coast Stampers...Lesley made an easy challenge this week.  I usually make cards with lots of layers and don't make too many CAS cards (clean and simple)  But this was a refreshing change for me.  We were to make a one layer Christmas card with red or green on it.
My card was made using a stamp from Rubber Stampede, (Angel Chorus Collage ) I used versamark on my stamp, and then heat embossed the card with red glitter embossing powder.

I'm typing this while listening to the news...Hurricane Sandy has me worried (like lots of others right now)  It's very rainy and windy out my window, but the worst is not here yet.  We have this huge tree next to our house, and it worries us every time we have a storm.  Two years ago we paid $$$$ to have the tree trimmed.  It was difficult to write out that check...but, believe me, at the moment, I am so glad we did.  Prayers for everyone in the path of this huge storm.

Blessings,
Jill
