Penny Black - Mistletoe

Hi everyone.  I'm sharing a CAS (clean & simple) card using an adorable image from PB's Christmas release, Mistletoe (31-084).  I stamped in black ink and watercoloured with Distress Inks.  I cut out the image using the matching die-cut, Mistletoe Cut Out (51-846).

The background is debossed using Geometric (65-007), a Penny Black embossing folder, adding a torn snow hill at the bottom and popping the image up over top of the embossing.  A simple sentiment (Shine Upon You (30-928), Penny Black finishes the card.

Close-up ...
Sending this card to the following challenges:
1) Darnell's IDEAS October Challenge - Dies - used dies to cut out the two images
  
Thanks for stopping by!


Stamps:  Mistletoe (Penny Black); Shine Upon You (Penny Black)
Paper:   White card stock (Neenah 110 lb.); Mixed Media (Strathmore 140 lb.)

Another absolutely beautiful PB stamp. I love the design and your coloring really brought these characters to life. Great idea to add embossing to the background.

Hugs,

Dear Loll,
as always your cards tug at my heart strings, this one especially as I recall 67 years of kissing under the mistletoe with my late hubby. You have brought this design to real life. Thank you
