I used WPlus9's Woodland Wreath but didn't have the die so cut it out by hand. One of the reasons I'm not too fond of stamps and dies is the white edge around whatever you stamp. I thought maybe stamping on green would take care of that but I don't really like the green edge either. I was going to ink it up but forgot until after I had it stuck on. I made a faux wood grain by rubbing Walnut and Black Soot Distress Ink pads along some brown paper. My banner was something I learned in the Online Card Class - faux metal. I embossed my banner with gold powder three times and then imprinted the word Christmas into it with a stamp.

One of today's lessons was about graffiti cards and I thought it looked like a fun card. I want to try it again with birthday sentiments.
The "you" is an inset die and the sentiments are from a variety of stamp sets.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful weekend.
This looks awesome! You've done a good job with today's lesson!
ReplyDeleteGood job! I really like this, and for some reason, I just keep thinking how this would make a really cool fancy, printed napkin set that would be perfect for like an open house or something where you send people out the door with a treat like a cookie or something. Oh, now I'm rambling! But anyway, great job!
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty wreath and I love the banner technique! It does look like metal! Looks like there's a lot to learn in that online card class! Love what you're doing with it!
ReplyDeleteOh I love your cards - love the faux metal sentiment and your overstamping on the die cut of the second card! Well done!!
ReplyDeleteI love your you card. I love the colors, clean and simple.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are great, but I am particularly smitten with your second. I've been pondering all afternoon how to pull off that grafitti look, and haven't come up with anything yet. Yours is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteoooh, that faux metal banner looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing that, and the graffiti card, so we can learn from your classes : )
ReplyDeleteLove the green wreath on your natural looking background :) so pretty! So glad to see you playing along with us this week at Merry Monday!
ReplyDeleteLooks like CAS3 class is teaching you well. Love your graffiti card.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards Bobby - love the banner and still need to try that faux metal technique.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Christmas card! I just love that banner!!
ReplyDeleteDeanne :)
Very nice card, Thank you for joining us for Merry Monday.
ReplyDeleteToo funny - one of the things I really like about stamp/die combinations is the white edge!! I really like the look with green too! I think we both agree on the faux metal banner. It's fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteI love the angled sentiments on your second card! LOVE the look of the inset die!
