Artistic Outpost New Release- Christmastime and Gloria!

Hi Friends! 

Welcome to the December 2016 Artistic Outpost New Release and Blog Hop!  

This month, Artistic Outpost is releasing the new stamp set, Gloria along with the Christmastime background stamp (all items available from the Our Daily Bread Designs website) and I absolutely love the vintage style of both Gloria and Christmastime- beautiful on their own as well as together! 

 Since I know that you will want to see the inspiration from all of my Design Team Sisters in the AO Blog Hop, I will share the individual steps taken to create each card in a future blog post.

 My first card features the AO Christmastime stamp with gold embossing powder and distressing (this card just shimmers in real life so it was a bit difficult to photograph :-)).

My second card features the beautiful AO Gloria stamp set! I used the images in the AO Gloria stamp set to create my own background paper as well as the focal images and paired it with the Ornate Ovals Dies and Beautiful Borders Dies from Our Daily Bread Designs. 

I hope I have inspired you today and that you will have time to visit the rest of the Artistic Outpost Design Team Blogs:
