Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow....

But only on Christmas Eve, Christmas Morning and New Year's Eve......AFTER everyone is where they should be.  Yup, that works!

A nice snowy wreath for you today in celebration of the upcoming season and for the Impression Obsession, Challenge Holiday Cards, Tags & Gifts.

My card uses a beautiful wreath from Impression Obsession.  (I believe)  I bought several un-mounted red rubber stamps a few years ago and do not have any of the packaging nor the proper names of the stamps.  I am trying to track them down now, so when I do I will edit this post and others if necessary.



Lately I have found myself making Christmas cards in the non-traditional colors.  As you can see here, I have used a great deal of red and yellow.  The stamp was colored with many various Copic markers, fun and tedious all at once.  After coloring, I took my handy dandy glue ink pad by Tsukineko and patted the image all over the glue pad, making sure to cover the entire colored image. Then I shook about a cup full of Recollections (Michael's Brand) Extra Fine Glitter in Glitz.  Shook off the excess and then sprayed Krylon Workable Fixatiff all over that, to ensure that ALL of that glitter stays on the card and doesn't end up in the envelope.  I love the Fixatiff, works like a charm.  If you do use it, spray outside as it has a powerful odor.  Potent!  But the odor does not stay on the card, which is always a plus!  I then heat set it all so I could work with a dry image.  I also added some Liquid pearls to the little berry images, gives it a 3D effect.  Added a ribbon and bow, and done!

I have been covering EVERYTHING lately in glitter, it looks so great in real life!

 

So I don't mind the snow as long at it's on a card, or on special days and nights.  What's not to love?

 

Thanks for stopping by!



Winter View

It's so nice to be inside on a snowy wintry day, clutching a cup of hot cocoa or coffee, nowhere to go, listening to the silent fall of snow.  Today's card features the beautifully detailed image, Winter View, by Impression Obsession and will be entered into their Challenge, Holiday Cards, Tags, & Gifts as well as the Let It Snow Challenge over at the Creative Corner. 

 

I absolutely love this window stamp  with it's beautiful potted trees.  Again, after coloring the image I used my glue pad and then doused it all in Extra Fine Glitter, sprayed with a Workable Fixatiff and then heat set.  Stamped, colored and fussy cut out a bough of pine sprig, added a few berries using Liquid Pearls.  Brick Wall embossing folder, holly ribbon complete with red adhesive rhinestones and I was done.  Love it!

 

Thanks for coming by, hope to see you again tomorrow!
