Snow Globe Scene

Hi Everybody,

I just wanted to share another Christmas card I made.  I made this card for someone that lives in a log cabin.  How cute is this scene??  She couldn't understand why I kept asking what color her door is hee hee.  I used a stamp set from Gina K Designs called Holiday Frame.  If you like snowglobes and building scenes, then this is the set for you!

I stamped with Gina K Designs Black Onyx Ink and colored with Copic Markers.  I used Nuvo Drops in White Blizzard to add dimension to the roof and snowflakes.  I used a white gel pen to add some white to the trees. 

This was a fun card to make!  Check out the Frame Stamp Sets by Melanie Muenchinger by clicking on Stamp Sets and then By Illustrator and click on her name.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Just The Two Of Us

Hi Everybody,

Today I'm on Strawberry Jude Stamps blog.  I'm very excited to be a guest designer this month for them.  The stamp set I used is called Fishing With Moose and Hedgehog and is so adorable and perfect for a masculine card.  I am going to give the card I am posting today to my husband for his birthday this month. It can also be great for a Valentine's Day card as well. 

HERE IS A LINK to Strawberry Jude Stamps online store and HERE IS A LINK to the stamp set I am using today. There is also a super cute dragon stamp set available in the new release called, Dragons and Jewels and HERE IS A LINK to that stamp set. 

This is what the stamp set looks like that I used...

I really had a lot of fun with this one.  I made a scene using the moose and hedgehog in the hammocks, the 2 trees and the sentiment, just the two of us. 

I used Bristol Smooth paper and began by sponging a light layer of Memento Summer Sky, which is a perfect light blue color for this.  Next I wanted to add some texture with clouds so I used a couple of older Spellbinders Scalloped Oval Dies in two different sizes.  I sponged right around the edge of the die positioning it different ways and I used Gina K Designs Powder Blue ink.  

I used Gamsai Tambi watercolor paints and simply painted a strip of grass across the bottom and then I used a Zig Real Brush Marker to flick blades of grass on top.  I also used these watercolor paints to color in  he trees and hammocks and Zig Markers to color the animals.  

The hearts were cut out of Gina K Designs kraft card stock using Poppy Stamps Heart Frames dies and the sentiment was stamped with Versamark ink and embossed with Hero Arts white embossing powder. 

I hope you'll check out the Strawberry Jude Stamps online store for the two new release stamps as well as all of the other clear polymer stamps.  I am really impressed with the quality of these stamps. This was my first time using their stamps and I highly recommend them.  

I hope I inspired you to try building a scene around your stamps.  It's very easy and fun to see each part come together. It's just another way to enhance your stamps. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
