 I use Nestabilities to make the red rose.(Merry Christmas) is embossed on vellum.

card#20- A gift tag

It's today's card . First I stamp the Eiffel Tower from the Stampsmith plate Paris , mask it and then I emboss the dot background with white sparkle embossing powder on Kraft.

I cut part of the image , used a white crayon on the lines of the swirls , to create a resist with Distress inks.And stamp the sentiment with black .

card #19

card #18- I need more cars

Men love cars even they are boys. In my memory, most of my brother's toy are cars. He said they are different types but they are the same for me. That  idea inspire me to make this card for a man-my brother.

I use MASK to color cars.
