Snowman with Heart

Today's card features a stamp that I picked up in a charity shop yesterday...it's a rather lovely plump snowman called 'Snowman with Heart' by Rubber Stampede. I stamped him (the sentiment is part of the stamp) on to watercolour paper, then coloured him using watercolour pencils. I distressed the edges a little, the added some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen, then matted it to to some red card before adding it to a kraft card blank.

Winter Trees

I have a Christmas card to share today...featuring some new embossing glitters and a stamp that I received for Christmas. I stamped the image ('Winter Trees' by Rubber Stampede) on to a snippet of navy card using Versamark Ink, then heat embossed it using 'Metallic Platinum Sparkle' and 'High Heels' embossing glitters by WOW. I then inked around the edges with more Versamark Ink, then heat bossed that along with a sentiment (from the 'Scribbly Trees' set by Tim Holtz for Stampers Anonymous) using more of the platinum glitter.
