This one is for this week's Unity Addicts challenge. It's super simple and inspired by a red mug with the word "merry" in a bold, white print.I started with a deep red panel and stamped a holiday sentiment that includes the word "merry" near the bottom right side of the panel in white pigment ink. The words were covered with embossing powder and heat embossed for a bold pop.
I accented the words with a big snowflake button. I dressed up the button with another button at the center, tied with some red and white baker's twine. The red panel is layered on a white card base. It was hard, but I resisted adding anything else to the mix.
Materials Used:
November Kit of the Month (Unity Stamp Co.); Fresh Snow ink, Pure Poppy button (Papertrey Ink); Cherry Cobbler cardstock, Winter White embossing powder (Stampin' Up!); white cardstock (Xerox); snowflake button (Blumenthal Lansing); baker's twine (The Twinery)
And, this one is for this week's Hip Hop sketch challenge. I used the "love and kisses" sentiment pair from August's Kit of the Month for the focal panel. The words are stamped in red ink on a white panel. I added a red felt heart as an accent, along with a red button.The stamped panel is layered on a big scalloped circle, then on a pink paper with a repeating open heart pattern. I layered the panel on a red mat, then wrapped a piece of red satin ribbon around the card, knotting it underneath the words. The assembled panel is layered on a white card base.
My December kit arrived in the mail this afternoon. Can't wait to ink it up!
