Warm Winter Wishes

 Happy Saturday,

I'm last minute posting for the current Silver & White challenge at the Color Hues Challenge. We went out for dinner with good friends last night and got home fairly early. I was looking through challenges and found the Color Hues, and thought I could do something  fairly quick with heat embossing. I ended up making two cards. One with a winter theme and the other with a summer theme.

The backgrounds of both are done with stencils. I used a sponge applicator to push VersaMark ink through the stencils, then heat embossed with silver EP. The first card is made with an Erin Lee Sun stencil and I cut a Hero Arts Sunflower from silver card stock for the center. The second card is made with a Simon Says Stamp Snowflake stencil. It's inked once, then turned 90 degrees and inked again. The sentiment is from the Gina K Designs Winter Wreath builder stamp set, stamped with VersaMark on black card stock and heat embossed with silver EP then cut out with the GKD double stitched circle die. I cut a silver mat with the corresponding single stitched circle die. I added a few sequins and silver gems to both cards for added sparkle.

Here are both cards with their inside greetings:

Thanks for looking in and have a good day,

Colleen
