Simon Says Stamp | Handmade Holidays Release – Good Cheer Card. Blog Hop + Free Gift

CARD DETAILS
I started working on this card by stamping the sentiment on the Desert Storm panel cut to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2″ with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink. Next, I dry embossed the Holly Branch folder on the stamped panel and went over the raised areas with a white pigment ink pad barely pressing the pad onto the paper. I love this technique.
Using a wide white pen I added faux snow onto the large lettering. I also used a smaller size white pen to add white snow dots. Lastly, I heat embossed the “Happy Holidays” in white embossing powder on red cardstock and foam mounted that onto the card for a pop of red.
