some Stitching (Lawn Fawn Stitched Circles) and finishing up with

in Versamark ink and embossed with clear.  Then came the fun applying the

 following  Distress Oxides randomly: Mustard seed, Picked raspberry,

Seedless preserves and Peacock feathers.   A bit of layering, use of a Martha

 Stewart punch and die cutting 8606 Birthday with a Quick cutz die I had

 the card above.

The House That Stamps Built: Anything Goes

Yes, it is that time again, Anything Goes at  The House That Stamps Built,

and how do I know that?  I got a message from Wendy, the owner of

Repeat Impressions, asking where my card was.  I set a record

making this card.  Luckily I had made a similar card the night

before so I was able to quickly CASE myself.

 

Wendy has designed several cute winter penguins, I used

8808-E, Knit Cap Penguin and 9106-G, Sending Smiles.

I created the snow with a Taylored Expressions

Snowfall embossing folder.  Distressing with Memento

Summer Sky and coloring with Copics. 

 

I kept my card simple without any glitter as I am starting on Cards

for Little Hearts,  a winter card drive for children in two heart hospitals,

who have congenital heart disease run yearly by

Christina Hor.  It runs October 1 to November 1 if

you would like to join in, every card helps.
