Hello and welcome aboard our December Stamp Of The Month Australasian Close to My Heart Blog Hop.

Today I would like to share with you a creation which features Close To My Heart’s December’s Stamp of the Month “Happiness Never Grows Old”.

In the first card I stamped in Versa Mark Ink and then heat embossed with Princess Gold Embossing powder. The I’ve rubbed Distress Oxides over the embossing – I used Peeled Paint and Abandoned Coral. Then I rubbed over each colour with a dry tissue to remove the ink from the embossed areas. The wooden sentiment is from the Happy Birthday Wooden Sentiments Z3868. And I’ve added a swirl of Gold Embellishing Thread.

The second card I stamped in Intense Black ink. This is perfect for colouring with a wet medium. I coloured using the Peach and Green Apple Shimmer Brushes. The wooden title is from the Love Today Wood Title Z3844.
