MMM Mid-week Motivation - Snowflakes
Good afternoon, here's a card I made to fit in with our Flowers, Foliage or Snowflakes theme for this week, don't forget that we are still focusing on Christmas
It's a square card base with some blue card stock layered on the top. The white card stock was put through my Cuttlebug first to cut out the rectangle and then in a snowflake embossing folder. Snowflakes were punched from thin card stock, sponged with blue ink and glittered before sticking over the aperture. A pale blue ribbon was added to the side with some silver elastic cord and various beads and sequins.
Hope this inspires you to create something for our challenge this week - pop back in a couple of days to see who we have picked to join our Deezine Team - Jacqueline.

MMM Mid-week Motivation - CAS Christmas Cards.
Our DT Call has now closed, thank you to all who entered - we will be letting you know by e-mail soon if you have been successful.
Mid-week Motivation has returned and I have a quick step by step tutorial on creating a Clean and Simple card with the emphasis on the sentiment.
Take piece of white card stock and stamp a Clarity Stamps sentiment in Versa Color Green Tea ink, then emboss it using Silver Pearl embossing powder.
I'm sure that the same effect could be achieved by printing your sentiment on the computer and I know that there are products on the market that allow you to print and then emboss.
The embossing over the green ink has given it a very subtle sheen but any embossing powder could be used or you could just used ink.
Use some Versamark ink to stamp poinsettias on to some vellum paper. This is another of my freebies from the Craft Stamper mag which was also embossed using the Silver Pearl. Take great care when heating vellum as it doesn't take much for it to burn!
Select which parts of the image you want to use and colour them in.
Carefully cut out your coloured images making sure that the inks have dried. I used some brush tipped markers and they took ages to dry and I ended up having to blot them on tissue. I don't know how Promarkers would work on vellum but the may dry quicker.
Layer up your images and secure with a brad. I also attached the brad to the white card stock before mounting on to green card as this then hides the legs of the brad on the back.
