I REALLY like the Stamp of the Month collection in the current Holiday Expressions catalogue, and this one is really creative. I love the way that the Christmas carol lyrics are worked into the designs:) I am more of a scrapbooker than a card marker, but I couldn't wait to play with some designs for my card club. I ended up making three variations on the same design. These are gatefold cards. I heat embossed on vellum for the SOTM images, and made the backgrounds with foil papers and cardstock run through some older stock embossing folders that I had on hand.
This one was stamped with My Exclusive Inks in New England Ivy and Cranberry and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder. The background cardstock is Fern, and Kraft cardstock was used for the card base and front panel.
This one was made with Gold Foil and embossing.
And this one is done in silver:)
The base of the snow globe was coloured with a Shin Han Touch Twin Alcohol Marker.
