Ok, so this image was ordered for a friend's birthday and sent directly to her... not thinking that she's a 'once in a blue moon' stamper and wouldn't have a clue what to do with an unmounted stamp!
So, she gave it back to me to mount for her...I had to try it out right?!!
Stamped the skates with Ranger Distress brushed corduroy and embossed with cleap ep (I just learned that the distress inks stay wet long enough to emboss!), stamped it again for my mask which I layed over the image to sponge more Ranger inks. Not your typical colors for Christmas, guess it's the mood I was in!

This is a beautiful, unique card, Dawn. Thanks for the tip about the distress inks/embossing; that will come in handy. I like that the colors are not typical Christmas colors. Just beautiful, as usual.

That ink stays wet forever, if i want a light touch I used what's already on sponge from days ago...that's getting your moneys worth!
Great card Dawn, I like the old skates image.
