Last week I posted some Christmas cards. Today I thought I would show you some variations that I did for a recent workshop.
This Dasher card originally featured Dazzling Diamonds added to the snow and trees. This one features the focal layer as a textured piece of cardstock. I stamped the layer as usual, then ran it through the Square Lattice embossing folder. It makes it look as though it's stamped on a heavily-textured piece of fabric. Of course, if I had stamped on something that textured, the ink would not have transferred properly. So hopefully this will be a little secret between us...shhh, don't tell anyone who receives this card how I did it! Oh, and I changed the colors a bit. This one is Marina Mist with Early Espresso.
This second card is just a color variation of the other one like it. The top layer is Pacific Point and the layer beneath it is Tempting Turquoise. I really like this color combination. Of course it would also look great with the colors reversed. I find these colors to be a little more in the "contemporary" category as they aren't traditional blues. But they are pretty blues and that's what matters!
