Thank You

I started this card with sponging Ranger's Distressed Ink Victorian Velvet on a 4 x 3 rectangle.  I then inked up one of my rose stamps with Embossing Distress Ink.  I then sprinkled Vintage Photo Embossing Powder over the image and shook off excess and then used my heating tool to dry the powder.  I added golden rod stickles on each corner.  I matted this image on 4 1/4 x 3 1/4 rectangle which I distressed in both Mustard Seed and Tumbled Glass.  For the main part of the card I stamped the rose stamp in Victorian Velvet and stamped each of the corner of the main card and sponge distressed in Mustard Seed.  

The "Thank You" was stamped in Watermark Resist Ink and then Roman Embossing Powder was sprinkled on and melted.  I stained it with Mustard Seed and Victorian Velvet and added a dot of Golden Rod Stickles to each scallop.  

Christmas Masks

The Seasonal Mask package by Tim Holtz is the first time that I've played with masks and it has been a lot of fun.  I look forward to using these particular masks on very near future projects and projects down the road.  I sponged around the snowman using Tim Holtz Distressed Ink Chipped Saphire.  I also sprayed with the new Perfect Pearl Mists.  To add extra sparkle and texture and more of a snow affect, I used Distressed Stickle Rock Candy.

I then wanted to try another mask so I sponged and sprayed around using different distressed inks and Perfect Pearl Mists.  Now to find the time to make more and more cards and get them out in the mail before Christmas is actually here.
