Michael Strong Card Captain days 2 and 3

In the Michael Strong Stamps Yahoo group, we have a card captain each week- so we have daily inspiration!  This is my first time doing this- and it is really a great way to get me motivated to stamp!
I posted Day 1 on Monday.....Here is Day 2:

  I stamped the image in brown multiple times and used the coordinating die to cut it out.  I attached it to the Confetti cardstock base with adhesive, then I decided to sponge on some color using the used die onto the cardstock as well.  I then embossed it using a SU texture folder. I added a bit of brown ink to the edges of the card. The sentiment is Stampendous (1998) and I added brown Bakers Twine.

Day 3:

 I could NOT get a good picture of this card at all.  I stamped the image onto Vellum using Versamark and embossed it with ranger Gold EP. I used a Blue Copic Spica Glitter Pen to color in the open areas. The ornament is layered on Black CS that has been spritzed with gold Glimmer Mist.   The gold organdy ribbon is gathered with a running stitch. I added blue gemstones to the ornament as well. One Christmas card down.........!

Thanks for stopping by!
