Is it too early for Christmas Cards??? Never I say!  Plus if you start early, you’ll have them all done by the time Christmas rolls around and you won’t be running around in a panic (like I usually do hmmmmm).

Anyway this is just a quick and simple card using the Wish For Peace stamp set, it’s one of the new Christmas sets in the main catalgoue, it’s quite sweet.  What I’ve done here is clear embossed the image using a Versamark inkpad, then using an Aquapainter filled with bleached, bleached out the parts I want to be white.  Now I have a tree with snow.  Very clever don’t you think?  If you are going to play around with bleach, make sure you test the cardstock you use first.  Depending on the dye in the cardstock, sometimes they don’t go completely white.  The blue I’ve used is Brocade Blue, and yep it goes white.  :-)  I also have to say…how cute is that ribbon?  Riding Hood Red Taffeta, very lovely.
