We are experiencing super cold weather here in good old Michigan. The temp is up to 13 degrees F. Brrr. And, there is snow to shovel.

Love that glossy look from the heat embossing. I would use these cards for a masculine birthday. Or just to send to someone special.

Love both versions of that vintage panel, although the foiled one might have the edge as it's shiny... Lovely stamps too!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards Karen are really lovely x
ReplyDeleteHi Karen!
ReplyDeleteI used to live in Michigan too. The snow is never-ending. Stamp while you can. The snow will still be there. :)
Thanks for sharing your card with us this week for the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. I love those images. And you really have a great eye for color.
Stay warm!
