Merry Monday Challenge #1

The Mocha Morning Sounding Joy

I know, I'm crazy, but I ran into a brand new challenge over at Always Playing With Paper and could not pass it by.  Leslie is a wonderful talented lady and I have been following her blog for a long time.  Good time to get a start on next year's Christmas cards and I will have this one available to make in my card buffet.  So, here is the Challenge Sketch:

Recipe:

Stamps:  The Sounding Joy and Season of Joy

Ink:  Versamark

Paper: Basic Black, Early Espresso and Gold cardstock, Paper Vellum and Mocha Morning DSP

Accessories:  Big Shot, Oval Scallop Frame, Scallop Oval Punch, Scallop Edge Border, Black and Gold Emboss Powder, Embossing Buddy

Technique Class

Tonight is Technique Class at my home.  We will be learning two new techniques that I have been wanting to do for a long time.  The first is the Stained Mosaic Technique.

Christmas Postcard Stained Mosaic

 You can find the directions for this technique here: Stained Mosaic and the second technique can be found here: Wax Paper Resist .

Season of Joy Wax Paper Resist

 I used the Vintage Wallpaper Textured Impressions Embossing Folder for this card and Cherry Cobbler ink.  Don't you just love it?  I'll be using this technique again.
