My Cricut Craft Room - embossing powders

     This is the first project I designed on the Gypsy I got for Christmas. I had a lot of fun playing around with my new toy and after watching a couple of YouTube videos I felt confident in my skills.

     For this project I only used Gypsy Wanderings. I started by welding two 5" postage stamp tag bases together. I hid the cut lines for the inside square on left side, this will be the back of the card when folded.

     To create the silhouette of the reindeer I took the image, increased it size to fit inside the small square on the right with just a small amount of overlap. I then grouped and welded the images. I hid the decorative cuts on the reindeer's hind quarters. The paper behind the reindeer is DCWV.

     To dress up the reindeer I tied a green ribbon around his neck and added a Tim Holtz charm that I colored with watermelon alcohol ink. I also added a Bo Bunny red gem to his nose. The blue gems in the lower left are also Bo Bunny.



     For my embossing I used an Inkadinkadoo stamp with Versa Mark embossing ink. The embossing powder that I used is Stampendous in antique gold. The granules are large and the stamp was small so the embossing isn't perfect but I'm okay with that. I like for people to know that I made these cards.
