Hey there,
Today’s tutorial uses a Christmas Stampin’ Up! stamp set, Christmas Blessings. I’ve decided to use it in a none Christmas card. It rocks when you can take a holiday stamp set and create with it through out the year. It makes the stamp set even more of a value.

Started this project with a 3.75″ square Pretty in Pink panel. Stamped the flowers using Whisper White Craft ink and heat embossed it using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.
Colored in the flowers using a Pretty in Pink marker and blender pen. The added Raspberry Ripple marker and blended the edges out with a blender pen. Added So Saffron marker to the center of the flower.
Added More Mustard marker dots to the center of the flowers. Also outlined the stems using a River Rock marker.
Sponged Pretty in Pink ink around the edges of the card stock, leaving the middle un-inked. Also sponged Raspberry Ripple ink around the edges of the card stock not covering the Pretty in Pink ink entirely.
Sponged distressed the edges of the card stock using Early Espresso ink and a sponge.
Ran the main image panel and a 4.25″ square panel of Early Espresso panel through the Big Shot Machine using the Square Lattice Embossing Folder. I love this folder. It looks like a cross stitched piece.
Adhered the main image panel to a panel of River Rock.
Added an Early Espresso modern label punch and wrapped it over the top of the card stock. Then added an antique brad using piercing tools to start the brad.
Added a 5″ square card base.
Here is the finished card measuring 5″ square. 🙂

I’ve started a new project. It’s to take a photo every day. I’ll share some of my favorite photos here on my blog with you.
This shot was taken on my deck as I watched the chickens peck around.

Chicken Talk
Well the girls are finally laying, well at least 2 of them. I’m as proud as any mother, lol. Just look at those eggs! A couple of them were even warm when I gathered them. Hot off the press they were, grin.
Now the girls have an onry streak. They have learned that they can move Lucas our dog around the yard even though he weighs over 100 lbs. They wait until he lays down and then they start pecking the ground really close to him. He then gets up and moves to a new spot and the process starts all over again.
I just love the pattern of spots in Red’s and Bunny’s feathers. This would make a fun background paper, don’t you think?

My heart goes out to those who are being affected by the hurricane on the East Coast.
May you be safe and warm today and always.
Until my next post.. . . . .
