This is for Stef's Inspiration Challenge -Frontage and it is a fabulous site for inspiration. The moment I saw this Christmas pillow, it reminded me of a new stamp set that hasn't been used yet.
I utilized my MISTI that I won in a SCS DTGD stamping event. The MISTI is perfect for using new stamps. I didn't know how these stamps would perform the first time around, but I had confidence using a MISTI. The banner and holly & berries stamps did not make complete impressions the first time. With the Misti, the stamp and paper doesn't move, so I was able to repeat the stamping with additional ink to get complete coverage. The Thinking of You was stamped in VersaMark ink and gold heat embossed. Also, with the Misti, I could line up the two small words AT, THIS with precision. I used dot embossing to symbolize the pompom trim on the pillow, so to keep my card flat for mailing. Fun challenge! Glad I could break in some new stamps today. TFL

You are rockin' that MISTI ... and are oh-so-right about ending the *new stamp* fear ... I love how you translated your pillow into your awesome inspired card, especially the gold embossing ... fabulous.
