Todays limited supplies challenge was to make a holiday card or project in blues. The only non-paper embellishment allowed is ribbon and you could use glitter.
I hope embossing is considered glitter or I'm in trouble!
I needed a Chanukah card for a friend (as in I must mail it today!) I used the Mazel Tov set by PapertreyInk and designer papers by Amuse.
I left my spellbinder die on the paper after I cut it and sponged Soft Sky ink on the edges to create the border. I've seen people do that but I had never tried it and I love how it came out!
A predicted snow storm just started here - we're supposed to get a foot of snow by morning - I'm glad I'm snug and warm in my home!

Julia, I love this card. I have to admit, I've never heard of leaving your cs on the nesties while you sponged the edges. The end result is simply stuning. Fabulous card.
