Wow, you are already done with the swap cards! Thanks for playing with us again this week at Turorial Time found at SpeedyTV!
ReplyDeleteI ordered the Christmas Cardinal stamp set but had the idea of the embossed Train & snowflake cut out so went with it. Luckily I had another spool of the ribbon since I only had enough on one spool to make 2 cards. had no idea that the Tutorial challenge would be heat embossing which I really like; especially watching the embossed powder change with the heat.

Brown and blue make such a nice color combo, and your snowflakes and train peeking through is a super idea. Thanks for playing along with the tutorial team again this week.
