a little (late) play date cafe

oh man, i barely made this challenge! oops! time got away from me!
i'll make this a quick post (i have to chase after the little mann after all!)!

the play date cafe's challenge this week was to create a black and white card with a splash of burgandy! fun! i decided to use those colors for a christmas card! i love making christmas cards with nontraditional colors! it's keeps me on my toes! :)



here it is:



i used lawn fawn stamps for the snowflakes (and sentiment), and i heat embossed them in white. it REALLY pops on the black...(it also really shows the mistakes! oh well!) i love heat embossing! i used a burgandy stamp pad that i had from close to my heart for the sentiment, and i also distressed the edge of the sentiment. it really is just a splash of burgandy! :)

well that's the card. off to change diapers and play trucks with the little mann (in case you didn't know, our last name is mann, so that's why i call him our little mann). :)



have fun!
enjoy!

  3. The embossing looks GREAT on this card! You are right that white embossing is SO tough because it shows everything, but you did a really great job! =)
