Hello my friends and Happy Veterans Day!!Today I am feeling better, my voice still on and off, pretty much off, but feeling better every hour. Today, we are going out for dinner to celebrate Veteran's Day. DH is a Veteran, so today is an important Holiday for Him.
I have stamped a bit yesterday, that makes me feel much better. I am in the Christmas mood lately, just don't want the snow yet. Some days ago I received my new stamps from smARTworks, and I decided to ink the cute snowman image from Happy Winter set and give it a try. The snowman was stamped in White CS using Stazon Black Ink. I colored it with Prismacolor pencils. I sponged the border with VersaMagic Aspen Mist Chalk Ink and Broken China Distress Ink (Tim Holtz), then I stamped the snowflakes from Reindeer set using White Craft Ink and Clear embossing powder, then I sponged more of the background area. Finally, for my ground snow I added some Dazzle Dust, this is perfect for snow or ice!! I also added some Sheer Stripe White ribbon . (just in case you didn't know, this pretty ribbon is only 0.39 cents the yard!!!, buy it before is sold out)

You even sound better in your writing! Your snowman card is darling. We don't get snow here in FL, but I remember it well from my years in New England and the midwest.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the links to smARTworks products. I guess I never even looked beyond Susan's wonderful stamps.
Sue is right, you really DO sound better! So glad you are feeling better. Your card is just delightful! I think they are getting snow today up north, so it's probably only a matter of weeks for us - ugh...!!! Love to look at it, play in it, photograph it, hate to drive in it! Very sweet card!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you did the resist snowflakes with the sponged color - so pretty!
