My 2012 Christmas Card
This is the Christmas Card I chose to make for my Customers. I really like way the moonlighting (burnishing) technique that gives the appearance of the a spotlight shining on the ornament. The diagonal embossing on this sample was from a retired Textured Plate. I used the Simply Scored Scoring Tool to emboss the cards I mailed. I mailed every one of them before I took a picture.

Snow Much Fun
The Christmas cards from the last three days were featured at a Christmas Card Workshop hosted by Diane Morton in her lovely home. I also featured them at my November stamp camp because they were all too cute not to spread the cheer.

Holiday Romance
I have always been terrified of watercoloring with an Aqua Painter. I don’t know why because it’s so easy. And how exquisite with the right stamp set and color palate. This is not just a Christmas card. I plan on using it as a birthday card.
