S & S Sketch #143

What a beautiful Sunday morning we are having here in southeastern Massachusetts.  Today's sketch over are Stars & Stamps is being sponsored by Tonic Studios.

I'm sorry to say I don't have any Tonic punches, but I do have plenty of others. I guess that means I need to go shopping.  LOL.

Today I went with SU's Scallop Trim punch which I just love.  I punched two sides of a thin strip of paper.  I embossed them with the Swiss Dot ef and then spritzed them with Ritzy Ditzy Copper Glitz before backing them with SU's Basic Black card stock.  The sentiment and the snowflakes are both from the Snow Swirled set by SU.  I stamped them with Versa Mark  and  embossed them in gold.  Again I used my Swiss Dot embossing folder to dry embossed the background.  That may do it for me today.  I'm getting ready to head out to have lunch with some friends I haven't seen in ages.  Really looking forward to that.    I wish you all a fabulous day.
See you again soon.

  2. I love how perfectly your punched borders match on each side! I always find that I'm just a tad off when I try that, but this looks great! I love the added snowflakes and embossing too which adds just the right amount of embellishments! Have fun at your luncheon today :)
