StencilGirl CHRISTMAS IN JULY Blog Hop Summers here in Florida hardly invoke thoughts of anything close to Winter snow, or  Reindeer for that matter….so this StencilGirl Blog Hop was truly a challenge.  I chose the StencilGirl Mandala Stencil #2 to create a unique snowflake design for this retro -feel Christmas Card. Utilizing ImagineCrafts Palette Knives, I spread  ImagineCrafts Clear Creative Medium [mixed with Vanilla acrylic paint for color] over the  festive card stock. The sentiment is embossed with a mixture of ImagineCrafts EMBOSS  White and Shimmer embossing powder.

CAS-ual FRIDAYS BLOG HOP When I chose the CAS-ual Fridays Casual Comfort Stamp/Die Set for this Blog Hop,  I planned on creating a more upbeat card. Recent events  forced me to change my mind -  unfortunately there are times when we need to send a sympathy card. So, starting with an original photograph of a Calla Lily in my garden, I took one of the Casual Trees Fri-Dies that seemed to mimic fern leaves. I embossed a two-layer piece of card stock for a deep embossed result. Then, using the coordinating stamp, I colored the leaves with VersaFine Ink in the Habanero and Crimson Red colors. The interesting white veining is the result of the embossing technique.
