Quick Cards with Vintage Poinsettia Clear Stamps - Whimsy Stamps

 Happy Fri-YAY friends!

If you are anything like me then despite your best intentions you end up doing nearly everything at the last minute!

I've always been the same - I'm approaching my sixth decade - and there ain't no way I'm likely to change the habit of a lifetime!  (:  

To save me (a bit) from flying by the seat of my pants I have designed a set of Christmas cards which are incredibly straightforward and more importantly quick to make. 
I used my current favourite stamp set

I created a set of smallish (10cm x 10cm square) cards in a variety of bold colours with the beautiful poinsettia stamped heat embossed in gold.

I added a stamped and die cut sentiment and finished the card off with a few gold sequins.

...truly simples!

Today's card was a lot of inky fun!

First though I created some inky backgrounds to die cut the trees from with a selection of green Distress Oxides, water and mica powder.  I'll pop a link to a tutorial at the end of this post showing how I make my backgrounds.

The card background and the frame are created in the same way but with only one ink colour - Tumbled Glass.

I stamped and heat embossed in silver the gorgeous
