STAMP SET: Festive Cheer

Argyle Technique Practice Card

 Every month I like to do a practice card for our Technique Class, and this month I used some mostly retired papers and stamps. You know what? It was fun to be able to use the materials, just like it was new to me!

Here is my "practice" Argyle Technique Card:

STAMP SET: Elephant Parade

INK: Misty Moonlight

PAPER: Misty Moonlight Base, White Layer, Night of Navy Layer, Bloom Boutique DSP 

ACCESSORIES: Eyelet Embossing Folder, Hydrangea Hue Dots, 1 1/8" Circle Punch, 1 3/8" Circle Punch

The squares are 1" squares and you need 9 of them. I love how this turned out, a cute little baby quilt.

I hope that you enjoyed today's card, I will be posting the Technique Cards later this month, so stay tuned.

Thanks for stopping by,

Take care

Cindy
