[@charlottesilber1687]

very pretty and a different technique TYFS

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Thank you! 😊

[@TheDaisytails]

Thanks for sharing!!! I like them all. I especially like the one with the deer on it. But I really like cards with critters. I have not tried this technique. I don't have much in the way of ink pads. And I don't have embossing folders with a big pattern on them. I'm still collecting supplies so when I get stuff together I'll try it. Thanks and HUGS

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Thank you for watching! ❤️

[@jeanhiebert3425]

The poinsettia card is stunning! I'll remember to use Stazon with this technique

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Thank you! Have fun with it! 🩷🩷

[@BigRickL65]

They are all beautiful but that red & black combo is stunning!

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Thanks very much! 😊

[@Dltp259]

I love them all! Pure genius yet again ❤❤❤

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Thank you! 🩷

[@bellablogg6097]

I really liked them all, but the one with the holographic paper is my favourite. But I am definitely going to try the first technique with the distress oxides, that looks like the most fun to me.

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Terrific! Have fun! 💕

[@user-fz9dr9gb2c]

I couldn’t pick a favorite-they’re all gorgeous!❤

[@villagecardandcrafts]

You are very welcome! 🩷

[@chrisrobson5187]

this is a great technique which i will definitely be using when i make my next batch of christmas cards. this year's were made in january this year

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Wow! That’s impressive! Don’t limit this technique to just Christmas though! ❤️

[@GewoonelsJustels]

This actually works great when you use solar paste on black paper and then use archival ink for the blackout technique! That gives a stunning result.

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Thank you!

[@andrealavigne7824]

I know you can heat set the Ranger archival ink to dry it faster on non-porous surfaces, as I've done that. (It also said that in the instructions - I'm not just a genius! LOL) It does work on vellum, but I was wondering if heat setting it on metallic/foil cardstock would have a negative effect on the paper. I might have to try that, though, just to see. Thank you for sharing - love them all! Take care, & have a wonderful day! :)

[@villagecardandcrafts]

I must admit that I do not use either of those inks very often. Thank you for letting me know about heat setting archival. Now I’ve got another experiment to try!! 🩷

[@joanneyeomans6294]

Could you please tell me what holographic card you were using?

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Yes! It is Recollections (Michael’s) brand

[@joanneyeomans6294]

@villagecardandcrafts thank you, it's really pretty. I love embossing folders!
