SU Christmas

Good morning everyone, 'tis looking very windy out there but it's dry. I hope you are all well or getting there, hugs.

I have a set of card to share with you today. I cannot claim ownership of the design, I have virtually copied one made by my friend Pauline at an SU workshop. I loved it so it prompted me to buy the stamp set, and these are my take on her card :o)

I found a box of plain white card, about 350gsm,  in my craftroom (as you do) when I was looking for something else. Goodness knows where and when I bought it, but I put it to good use making these cards LOL. 

I folded and cut the cards to 6x6.

I used the same card to stamp my toppers with SU. I inked the stamp then stamped it three times without inking again. All of the stamps used are SU apart from the sentiment on the first one, and that is from a word set by Waltzing Mouse.

Ink pad used on the first is SU but for the other two I used forgotten TH distress inkpads. It's the first time I have ever used distress inks for stamping and I must say I like them. It gives me some more ink colours to play with LOL.

On Pauline's original card, she sprinkled with Frantage, but I haven't got any of that so I just used Glamour Dust on the trees, unfortunately you can't see it on here but it shows up nicely IRL. Luckily I was able to match the inks with card from my box of mxd colours Papermania textured card :o)

P.S. Did I say dry? Just looked out of the window again and it pouring down!
