AESTAMPS A LATTE

Hello, crafty friends. Today is the last day you can purchase from the  Snowflake Showcase!   My favorite item is the  Snowfall Framelits.  I love them!  There are 20 framelits in the set and they make tons of beautiful snowflakes.  One run thru the Big Shot and I have all the snowflakes I need to complete a very detailed Christmas Card.

Hello, crafty friends. Today, I am sharing a card I made for being a "top ten" winner in the November challenge for Kylie's International Blog Highlights challenge .  First, let me say thank you to all of you who voted for my card! :)  The top ten winners are "hopping" along with the theme of: Thank You.  Here's mine: With so many choices of stamp sets to use- I opted for one of my all time favorite stamp sets from the Annual Catalog -  Love What You Do and paired it with the Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper.   I love this flower image and the thank you from this set is da-bomb..... if you ask me. I colored the flowers using my light and dark Cherry Cobbler and my light Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends.  I stamped the solid watercolor mark image from the stamp set in Smoky Slate- but first stamped off onto a piece of scratch paper before stamping over my colored flowers.

Here's another Snowflake Showcase card I made using a piece of Garden Impressions 6" x 6" DSP to highlight the color Mango Melody.  These framelits are to "die" for- get it? I made a quick watercolor wash with my Aqua Painter and Mango Melody ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock and after I dried it with my Heat Tool, I randomly stamped the snowflakes from the Snow is Glistening stamp set.  This was then matted onto DSP and then onto a Silver Foil-Edged Card base.  I added a silver brad from my stash to the center of my snowflake cluster.
