This is a quick card for Cindy's 25th teapot tea party - http://mothermark.blogspot.com/2008/...uesday-25.html.
I'd like to do it again and maybe colour the holly better - but I've just done 8 other cards and it's nearly bedtime.
I stamped a Woodware image onto the card with Versafine Olympia Green. I used watercolour pencils to colour it. I held it up to my light, and from the back marked where the image was with pencil. Then using a scoring board I added embossed lines, and with one of the Fiskars ShapeBoss winter templates I added the rest of the embossing. I highlighted all the embossing and the holly berries with Glossy Accents.
Not great, but it will do...for the time being at least.
And a cardinal next week? I just got a cardinal stamp on Saturday, so even if it's only the slightest reference to your new teapot, Cindy, I hope it will be an opportunity to ink up my new stamp.

Wow Sabrina, your embossing is fabulous. I love how you put the glossy accents on them. The country style holly that you used is really neat. I like the way you colored the leaves.

I agree with Marilynn! Your embossing is wonderful! I love the glossy look of it. And that holly image is way cool with the stitching! You did 8 cards today! You go girl!

I'm loosing it over here, girl! If you keep creating the most unique cards, I just will be forced to cross the ocean and look over your shoulder for weeks on end. So, if you dont want that to happen, you'd better knock it off with all these fabulos cards you're uploading! Only you could have thought of a ard like this. It's just awesome. I love what you've done with your beautifully colored image and you said this isnt great? yeah, right Sabrina. It's absolutely fantastic.
