Nutcracker

Hi everyone, 

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments. I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know! 

I'm finally caught up, so the card I'm sharing with you today features the latest NDC plate which I created demoed earlier this month in my Facebook group.  They were sent out earlier than usual because of being Christmas themed, so I switched my usual live schedule to earlier, too...

 

Here's the video of how I created the card...  

Card: Unbranded white and craft, Clarity's Antarctica card (tag backing) and clear parchment

Groovi Plates: Picot square, Nested Arch Tags and the NDC Nutcracker

Tools and embellishments: Groovi and Pergamano embossing tools, Picot square and Nested Arch Tags dies, Polychromos pencils and rhinestones from my stash

Challenges...

I'm taking a short break over Christmas, so I'll be back on January 3 with another creation and I hope you'll join me then.  In the meantime I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Virtual Retreat Part 2

Hi everyone, 

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments. I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know! 

The cards I'm sharing with you today are those I designed for sessions 3 and 4 of last month's virtual retreat in my Facebook group...

Card: Unbranded white, Clarity's designer card, light rose and clear parchment

Groovi Plates: Symmetrical Floral Round (outer square), Nested Arch Tags and Jayne's Hummingbirds (trumpet flowers)

Tools and embellishments: Groovi and Pergamano embossing tools, Nested Arch Tags die, Perga color pend and rhinestones from my stash

The sketch technique I used for the 2nd one was the first time I'd demoed it, so it was a fitting finale to the event which saw all 4 live sessions within 22 hours... stark contrast to the months of planning in the lead up to it, but SO worth it!

Card: Unbranded white and Clarity's clear parchment

Groovi Plates: Nested circle picot, Trees and Landscape (both used for the pencil sketch instead of being embossed)

Tools and embellishments: Groovi and Pergamano embossing tools, Nested circle picot die, Polychromo pencils and rhinestones from my stash
