Thank you to everyone who spent time crafting the day away on Saturday. It was the perfect day to hide inside while rain/sleet/snow fell! This month's crop was in support of Ronald MacDonald House Charities.

I am in love with this Black Ice Technique! And that you can colour in the images using the Stampin' Blends. Amazing what you can make using a piece of foil paper, clear embossing powder and some ink! This technique was taught at our Fall Weekend Retreat in September.

Supplies
Stamps: Touches of Texture, Special Celebrations
Colours: Pool Party, Whisper White, Smokey Slate
Accessories: Wood Textures Designer Series Paper, Tailored Tag Punch, Versamark Ink, Clear Embossing Powder, Silver Foil, Stazon Black Ink, Pool Party and Old Olive Stampin' Blends (both dark), Silver Thread

Welcome to a special Extraordinary Blog Hop with Global Stamping Friends! We are highlighting projects featuring new products from the 2018 Holiday Catalogue.


This past weekend I helped run Crop Kingston's Fall Weekend Retreat here in Kingston, Ontario. I was able to borrow the stamp set, framelits and embossing folders from friends at the retreat to create this card. On Sunday when I placed my order those items were the first ones on my list! They will arrive next week and I am looking forward to playing with the beautiful stamp set again.

The flowers and leaves were leftovers from another card that I will post next week. I stamped extra images and since they were sitting on my work space it was a perfect opportunity to make another card! To create the embossed piece behind the bouquet I put a piece of Champagne Foil sheet into the Big Shot with the Tin Tile Dynamic Embossing Folder first and then lightly swiped my Whisper White Craft Ink pad to highlight the raised portions of the embossed image.

Supplies
Stamps: First Frost and Detailed With Love
Colours: Blackberry Bliss, Grapefruit Grove, Granny Apple Green
Accessories: Frosted Banquet Framelits, Tin Tile Dynamic Embossing Folder, Champagne Foil Sheet, Subtle Embossing Folder, Stampin' Dimensionals, Stitched Labels Framelits, 3/16" Braided Linen Trim
