For some reason I immediately thought Silver and Blue with these stamps - so that's what I used for my peeks today!
First, the card - I silver embossed this beautiful Vintage Christmas Background stamp on Enchanted Evening card stock. Then I silver embossed this wonderfully ornate sentiment on the same color. I layered both to Pewter Mirror Paper. I adhered the sentiment to the background with foam tape and layered them both onto the white card base. Then I added little silver pearls to several spots on the sentiment and larger ones to the bottom corner.
Here's what I stamped inside - Don't you love the pretty design and fonts on this!?!
Next I made a little ornament gift tag using the same blue and silver papers. I simply layered two sizes of the 2012 Heirloom Ornament Spellbinders dies - one silver and one blue - punching a hole through the tops and looping this fun silver/blue Glitter Eyelash yarn through the holes. I silver embossed this smaller sentiment from the set, cut it with an oval Nestability and layered it to the blue ornament.Here's what I stamped on the back using stamps from yesterday's peeked set - Yonder Star. Wouldn't this look lovely on a Holiday gift?!
We'll be having Day 3 of the peeks tomorrow! Hope you can stop by again! Which sets are your favorites so far?
