Got Snow? Totally Stampalicious does!



I LOVE Snow.....you know the wet kind? Those huge fluffy flakes that float down so gracefully from the Heavens to land on your nose and linger just long enough for you to know that they're there! The ones that you catch on your tongue, the perfect snow for snowmen, snowballs and Snow Forts! The heavy snow that weighs on the pine boughs, the perfect winter scene!

My friend Kerry always says that I create the prettiest winter scenes. That's probably because I love snow! I must admit that I despise driving in the snow......one of those white knuckle winter drivers that chug along at a snails pace on those slippery roads.........I am sure that snow days were made for ME, because I love to play in the snow...........make snow angels..........toboggan, cross country ski and skate..........and hot chocolate is perfect in the stormy weather......hmm chocolate another favourite!


Anyway, I was very excited when Joycelyn and Rebecca of Totally Stampalicious asked me to be a guest designer for them! What a perfect set for me! This is Snowmen a newly released stamp this week! Isn't he cute with his top had and corn broom?

He's coloured in Copics, Sponged with Pigment ink and dotted with white gel pen. Want a little tip for subtle snow? Dot in your snowflakes while the sponged ink is a little damp, which will prevent huge honkin' dots! Lol~!

DP is the Yummy Eskimo kisses from Basic Grey. Base Cardstock is Iced Teal from Prism

Keep your eyes peeled, I'll have more samples for you over the next couple of weeks!

Happy Stamping!
