Gilded Leaf

Today I'm sharing one last fall card before starting into Christmas creations next week!  This card features a beautiful gilded zentangle leaf. I kept it simple for two reason -- 1. holidays are busy and there isn't always a lot of time to craft and 2. to showcase the beautiful designs in that leaf stamp!

Supplies and Tools:

• Zentangle Leaf (Magenta Cling Stamps)
• Distress Embossing Ink (Ranger)
• Sticky Embossing Powder (Ranger)
• Gemstones Gilding Flakes
• Holly Flourish Embossing Folder (Ultimate Crafts)
• Antique Gold Twine
• Sentiments #5 Die (Spellbinders)
• Brilliant Sparkle Gold Embossing Powder (Cosmic Shimmer)
• Scotch Foam Mounting Tape 

 Now it's your turn....stop by the current link party and showoff any creation that includes a product or two from one of the companies carried in the Cropstop store.

Bauble Blossoms

Hello friends! It's time for another "Inspiration Monday" post. Today I'm sharing a bright and happy card I created using some new Cropstop supplies I recently acquired!

Here's how I put this card together:

• embossed a piece of blue card stock with the Holly Flourish Embossing Folder from Ultimate Crafts
• inked the embossing with Mermaid Lagoon Distress Ink (Ranger)
• stamped a sentiment from All Things Are Possible (Heartfelt Creations) in mermaid lagoon distress ink
• highlighted the sentiment with a blue colored pencil
• die cut my sentiment using the Beaded Oval Nestabilities (Spellbinders)
• added White Opal Liquid Pearls around the edges
• popped up my sentiment using Scotch Foam Mounting Tape
• die cut three flowers using the Bauble Blossoms Two Dies from Spellbinders
• inked their edges with mermaid lagoon distress ink

Now it's your turn....stop by the current link party and showoff any creation that includes a product or two from one of the companies carried in the Cropstop store.
