Full Bloom Christmas

Still using up unfinished bits and using up arty 'scraps' hanging around, I found this 'reverse stencil' print I made when stencilling snowflakes. I'd already stamped the penguins both on the card and ready to colour, cut out and piece over, so this didn't take long. The border was scrappy because bits of ink had escaped into it, so I decided to add a washi tape border. I masked the top and bottom of these words to stamp in Versafine Majestic Blue and clear emboss.

This card celebrates my love of words - or inspiring sentiments. I love this Visible Image set, with its letters streaming from the typewriter. Words are so powerful - one single word of difference in what we say - and/or the way we say it - can effect people in both good and bad ways. What we say makes a difference! Boy, I wish I'd realised this much, MUCH earlier in life...😬

Love the backgrounds on these cards!
Great cards, I love the penguins of the first one and it's a great idea to add washi tape on the border.
And about the second one, that background is awesome and that writer stamp is fantastic, the sentiment is beautiful. Hugs, María.
