Paper Cuts

Today Cornish Heritage Farms releases nine new holiday images and a snowflake/sentiment set! Wow!  I just love the new silhouette images.

O Come let us Adore Him 

For this card I used the new Manger Scene and Christmas Expressions.  For the manger scene, I stamped directly onto the patterned paper with Versamark, then embossed with Ranger Walnut Stain Distress powder.  I wanted the sentiment a bit darker, so I stamped that with Walnut Stain Distress ink then embossed with the same matching powder.  (And I didn’t rub away any of the embossing.  I did just a tad on the image.)  The background stamp is CHF’s Sophisticated Swirl stamped in Adirondack Latte ink.  (I just got this background, LOVE it and plan to use it lots!)

Papers are leftover pieces of Basic Grey Fruitcake and the hardware is from We R Memory Keepers.  (Card size 5″ x 5″.) 

Season’s Greetings

For this one I used Family Tree and Christmas Expressions.  The image was stamped onto Cosmo Cricket Wonderland patterned paper using Adirondack Espresso ink then I added Diamond Stickles to the tree.  Once again, I wanted the sentiment to be a little more pronounced so after stamping in the Espresso ink, I clear embossed. 

I chose to use these images in a bit of a rustic manner, but I think they would look fabulous embossed in gold or even ivory on ivory with gold or silver accents.  Hmmm…I may play more. 

So how about that sneak peek?               

Any Kim Hughes fans out there?  (I know there are a lot of you!)  How about Kim Hughes patterned paper???!!!!  This is Mintberry Crush, one of twelve different 8″ x 8″ designs.  If you’d like to see the other papers, hop around to the other CHF designer blogs (links on the left side bar) to see them up close!!  Then be sure to check out Kim’s blog for more info!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day!  (I actually don’t expect to as now my son is sick.  )
