Sharing two cards with you today - here's my first card, which is for this week's Runway Inspired Challenge...



I'm so in love with the shoes - but who could see them, with that oversized purse...watch out when you put your purse down, it may roll away...hehehe.

Stamps:  Paper Smooches (Swanky Snowdudes, My Peeps)

The next card is for Day 7 of Holiday Card Workshop.  I tried to use Jennifer McGuire's technique of Inner Masking, but I just couldn't get it clean enough...tried several times, then gave up.  I truly think in order to get a clean embossed image, I'll need Eclipse Masking Sheets, post-its just ain't doing it.  So, I decided to follow Kristina Werner's lead, and play with my Distress Inks, and work with a "reverse" stamp...

Stamps:  Papertrey Ink (Holiday Lights, Snowflake Serenade)

I stamped the image with Tuxedo Black, then used Ranger Peeled Paint and Broken China Distress Inks.  I then stamped snowflakes over it in white, and heat embossed it with a kaleidoscope embossing powder, which gave it a glittery shimmer.

Live well,
Trina
