Hi Everyone Happy Tuesday.
For the next few night's I'll be featuring cards that I made with a set from the new SU Holiday catalog.
The interesting thing about this set is that it was a last minute purchase. I realized I had some hostess dollars to spend and wasn't sure what to get. I literally placed this set onto my order with very little idea of how much I would enjoy using it! I started playing with this set on Sunday and ended up making several cards! In fact, I don't think I'm quite finished yet 🙂
For tonight's card, I started with a piece of Whisper White card stock and stamped the pine branch with Versamark and covered it with the new Ranger Verdigris embossing powder. I love this stuff. I love the multiple greens with a touch of gold and that fact that it has more dimension than normal.
I paired it with a sentiment from the EndlessWishes photopolymer set embossedwith gold embossing powder. I really love this sentiment set and have to say, Stampin' Up!'s photopolymer sets stamp beautifully. I've been really impressed with them!
To finish off the card, I stamped the cone with Versmark and embossed it with the same gold embossing powder and popped it with dimensionals. I think it was a great finishing touch.
Here's my card:
I really love the mixture of golds with that verdigris embossing powder, I think they work so well together. I also stepped outside of my comfort zone and clustered all the elements at the top of my card. Very unusual for me 🙂 I was really pleased that the card came together very quickly and yet looks rich with all that gold.
On a personal note:
I wanted to share a quick photo with you tonight.
Mom has done a great job of keeping her fawn out of sight and safe. We have had very few sightings of the two of them and I was thrilled to capture this photo. It is such a restful sight 🙂
I'll be back tomorrow with another card using this same set. In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift tonight.
Hugs
Jaydee

I can’t get over how well your nature plants have grown and have really filled in
Simple, elegant, mailable and oh so pretty! I can’t wait to see what else you created with this stamp set that is on my wish list!
Sometimes those sets we purchase on a whim become our all time faves. :o) This simply elegant card really highlights the beauty of the set. :o)
Hello, sweet baby fawn!
Hugs!
P.S. Hiya Lou! :o)
Love the card. Your picture would also make a beatiful card.
SO pretty Jaydee! I love the simple design and slight sparkle. The sentiment looks wonderful embossed in gold, just lovely.
I forgot to mention this beautiful photo of your mama and fawn. He’s really grown! What a treat to catch a photo of them together. Thanks so much for sharing with all of us!
