Holiday Card Workshop, Day 5

Our task for day five? Make “his and hers” holiday cards. I think mine are pretty generic and can go either way. 

Debby Hughes showed us a great technique - embossing paste and embossing powder. That’s how I created the branch on the first card. I used the negative space of the die as a stencil.

Be sure to visit Debby’s fabulous blog, Lime Doodle Design.

  5. Love both of these! I would happily receive either of them, so yes, I would say they are gender neutral. But that's the best kind of card in my opinion!
