This first one card project,
 I stamped the ornament image with
 Versa Mark Ink & Heat Embossed with 
Gina K. Designs White Embossing Powder on 
a piece of acetate. 
Also foiled a solid piece of Toner Paper with 
Gina's Radiant Red Foil and then used 
the Christmas Word die to cut it out. 
Then layered on a die cut shadow layer of white.

  • Dies from the Merry & Bright Stamp TV Kit 
  • Fancy Foils  - Radiant Red  
  • PeelnStick Toner Sheet by- Therm-o-web
  • Fine Detail Embossing Powder - white

On this cad I made a frame from two of the rectangle single stitched dies and die cut a frame from a piece of foiled stripe from Gina's Ornamental Holiday Foil-Mate pack. The Greeting is stamped in my Misti with Red Velvet Ink and then Inked up the stamp with Versa Mark Ink and used Gina K. Designs Clear Embossing Powder over it, so now it has a nice shine to it!  :)

On this third card, I masked off the left and bottom of my layering piece. Sponged the Turquoise Sea Ink Lightly, then stamped the images. I did the rock & roll technique on the pinecones.

This one I have a frame mask and I placed it over my layering piece and sponged in the Denim Blue Ink, but not to dark, as I wanted my greeting to show up. I stamped the pine branch in Black Onyx and the Greeting in the Denim Blue Ink
