2011 Winter CHA Sneak Peaks!

Good morning, I hope that you had a wonderful weekend.  We finally put all of the Christmas stuff away, I managed to get some other chores done, and actually had time to do some stamping!

Don't forget to visit AfterHoursStamper on Facebook ("like" the page so that the updates land on your wall), I am linking to a "featured" blog each day, as well as sales and other cool things I find online : )

Here is the card I made:

Close up:

From 2011-01-17

The image was stamped on 140lb watercolor paper with black VersaMark ink, then I embossed with clear embossing powder.  Distress Ink was used to color the image, the rope, bow, and hair bows were highlighted with TonerTex foil.  I also used some Viva Decor pens to make the "colored pearls" in the corners of the card.

Now onto a TON of links for new products debuting at the 2011 Winter CHA.  I have been clicking and saving links all weekend, some of the new products will just knock your socks off, and I need to make more cards to use up the paper I have so I can buy some of the new paper that is coming out this year.  Here we go:

Paperwishes:  Love this site, tutorials, videos and tons of products!  One of the new products is called "Paper Tole," images that are precut for you to punch out and layer on your scrapbook page or card.  Watch the video here to see how it works.  And check out their "Stamp and Punch" stamp set, a must have for card makers.
