Hello friends, welcome and thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you are having a good week. We have had lovely days lately - almost felt like spring but are expecting a Polat Blast towards the end of the week - I am not looking forward to that! I am really enjoying playing with the Happy Mail I got from John Lockwood aka John Next Door -and I have to say - they are wonderful to work with.
The background has been coloured sponging the patterned Mulberry Paper using Imagine Memento Ink in Blues and Purples. The Die from the John Next Door Christmas Dies - Deer Scenes has been cut/embossed twice using both Kraft and white card stock. The white die cut has been offset onto the Kraft die cut to create a shadow effect using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner Ultra.
The hill below the deer has been sponged using Imagine Memento Inks in Bamboo Leaves and sponge daubers. The Holly Corners have been sponged using Imagine Delicata ink in Golden Glitz and the berries in Rhubarb Stalk. Next it has been glued along the top edge of the card front , Clear Gloss has been added to the Holly Berries.
