Here are a couple of cards I made using an emboss and stamp technique where only the embossed areas receive any ink. In both instances the cardstock was dry embossed using a Cuttlebug embossing folder. Then the embossed or raised areas were stamped. (Read more about it here.)
On this first card, as in the past, I used the mirror image stamp to apply the ink by running it over and across the embossed areas.
On this second card, however, I used a Paisley Backgrounder stamp. I first stamped the background image and then applied the remaining ink the same as with the mirror image stamp by running it over the embossed areas. I just love this effect!
We had a wonderful Christmas at our home. A last minute decision to have my son, Gary and his family, fly in for a week meant that Santa would be paying a visit again this year. It was so fun.
We made a gingerbread house and baked cookies.
We had some crafting time, too.
Hoping everyone had a bright and beautiful holiday.
Happy Crafting!
