Started by stamping the images with Versamark, then heat embossing with gold ep. Colored with Spica glitter pens, then fussy cut images out. On the green card, I mounted the image with dimensionals onto the Framed Canvas ef. On the red card, I mounted the image directly onto the Fabric Weave ef, then Versamarked the edges and embossed with gold ep. Finished the red card with red & gold ric rac and a holly embellishment. Finished the green card by painstakingly gluing every one of those bitsy red rhinestones by hand (Yes, I am nuts, but I am also getting very good at this!)

These are going right into my favs Pat! I have this stamp and have never been able to use it! I love how you embossed this stamp in gold and used spica pens to color it in. I also love how you made 2 completely different versions, and both of them are gorgeous (I could not even come up with one version!). What terrific cards these are for the C Alphabet challenge Pat! Wow! ~Karen.

Your attention to detail makes this card so beautiful! I can tell you spent a great deal of time getting it just right. The recipient is going to love this and cherish it. Great job! I don't think I would have had the patience that you have shown. TFS!

Wowzers Pat! These are glorious Christmas cards. They are both very pretty but I absolutely LOVE the green one! (Of course, green is my favorite color!) I think it looks so rich and elegant. The red one is very pretty too - love your finishing touch of red ric rac and holly. Your patience in putting all those red rhinestones on the green card is amazing!

Wow, what a gorgeous framed sentiment stamp! I love it embossed in gold and the colouring gives a vintage touch. I love it! I just now noticed that you fussy cut the images. What a work of love!

Gorgeous! Creative cards for Letter C. Love that image embossed in gold. The coloring is so pretty. Cool backgrounds and embellishments. Love both cards, but I'm a little partial to the green one. I'm amazed that you glued all those tiny rhinestones by hand !!! Wonderful cards!! TFS
