...Cracked Winter Wishes

I can't seem to get away from Christmas and winter cards. I suppose it could be because of the hot and humid weather we're experiencing here in Georgia. I can't even go outside without smothering or sweating to death! So I stay tucked away inside making cards that make me feel cooler than the actual temperature. This specific card was for a recent challenge to make what is called a "tent topper" card. This layout/technique was actually the invention of one super-savvy card maker by the name of Michelle Wooderson. Her design uses a circle topper, but I wanted something a little more "antique" looking so I used an oval. I stamped my snowflakes on the vanilla oval, then did a cracked glass technique over the flakes. I matted the vanilla onto a pomegranate oval, and I pierced around the sides. I just {LOVE} the cracked glass technique! I will be teaching my friends how to do it in our October class. I'm sure that they will love it as much as I do.

I have a few more challenges to catch up on, so I am going to get off of here and get busy! Oh! STAMP SALE-Don't forget to check out the left column for some stamp sets that are on sale. I've actually lowered the prices on them...so go shop! I will be accepting money orders or PayPal for orders that need to be shipped, but I will accept checks or cash from customers in my area.

I'll see you all later! Hugs ~ Mercy
