Joy in Making Cards

Hello! I am trying to catch up with some February challenges that I want to enter.  I made this very CAS Christmas card for the CAS Christmas Challenge which has the theme Joy.  I used a freebie stamp from a magazine that I have had about 3 years. Simply stamped the word with Versamark and heat embossed with Gold EP on white cardstock and added two stripes of red foil using double sided tape to attach.  Finished with a GKD Red Velvet card base and a Red Nail Head to the center of Joy.

Leaf of Many Colors

Welcome! Fall temperatures have arrived and we've turned on the heat. I would enjoy a few more days of 70 degree weather.  I made this card with thoughts of falling leaves.  I used an older Maple Leaf stamp from GKD A Year of Leaves that I stamped on water color paper with Versamark Ink and heat embossed with Copper EP.  I colored the leaf with a water brush using Distress Oxide Inks Peeled Paint,Candied Apple, Fried Brick, Wild Honey, and Fossilized Amber.  I added some foil strips using double sided tape with Designer Foil from Clearsnap.  The GKD sentiment was also stamped with Versamark and heat embossed with the Copper EP.  I attached the water color panel to a card base of Copper Metallic CS to finish.
