I 'swiped' a card!

This is me not being able to waste a thing... remember that baby wipe trick I used yesterday?  [One that I'm quite sure I learned from someone else - Loll, maybe?]  Well, you didn't think I'd forget to share that card, did you?  


All that beauty from something we all throw in the trash, a wonderful Christmas sentiment from SSS heat-embossed with sparkle puff embossing powder on a belly-band of vellum, and there you have it!

Enjoy your weekend my friends!

A simple but oh so effective Christmas card Michele! I do love the soft muted colors on this embossing panel and I love that the vellum lets it shine through. That embossed sentiment in the sparkle puff embossing powder is just beautiful. This whole card is just beautiful and I love that it was so simple but so elegant using left over inks. Love it! Hugs, Brenda

I love the soft subtle feel of the colours on this design, and the perfect addition of vellum with white heat embossing. You always get it right!

I don't usually use baby wipes but I'm going to just so I can do this technique, Michele. So lovely.

Great use of the "leftovers", as it makes a subtle and beautiful card! I do believe I've seen Loll do this technique

You are just so clever! I love the softness from the third(?) generation of inking and the white embossed sentiment on vellum is perfection!

The ink smooshed cards in the previous post were gorgeous, but I absolutely LOve this softly colored poinsettia card, Michele! The colors in different and subtle shades showing from behind the wide vellum belly-band create such an elegant and delicate look. I love it!
