Cheesy Love

It's time for our Wednesday challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week the theme is --- ANYTHING GOES! Since Valentine's Day is coming up soon, I decided to create a "Cheesy Love" card with one of Repeat Impressions mouse stamps.

I used my circle nestabilities to create the holes for my cheese and inked around their edges with distress ink to make them stand out a bit more.

• Labels 10 Nestabilities (Spellbinders)
• Circle Nestabilties (Spellbinders) 
• Prismacolor Pencils
• Tuxedo Black Ink (Memento)
• Distress Ink (Ranger) in these colors
• Scattered Straw

• Baker's Twine

Let It Snow!

Today I have a fun snow themed card for you in pinks and browns. When I was gluing my sentiment on,  I accidentally smudged some brown ink on the embossed background. Since I didn't feel like starting over, I diluted some distress oxides and created a spatter effect. Fun fix for my whoopsie!
