CardMaker/Impression Obsession Blog Hop


Good Morning!!!

Welcome to the CardMaker/Impression Obsession Stamps Blog Hop

My Share for you today leaps forward to Christmas!

The Main image and sentiment hails from the Happy Holidays Clear Set
To create the snow that surrounds the Cheerful Deer I used the Snowy Background stamp.
First  stamped from the top down and then i used the top portion of the stamp to add some snowy ground cover. I coloured the sweet deer directly onto craft cardstock with Copic Marker.

I edged the craft panel by going direct to paper with my white inkpad.

You might see a hint of texture in the red panel? That is because I stamped the Holly Leaves out of the Winter Elements Clear set.

Seeing that it's been so darned hot here, I thought I'd cool things down a bit with a couple of wintery creations

My First Snowy Scene uses the Woodland friends as it's main focal point. I coloured the image with my Copic Markers, using my Signo White Pen to add a gentle snow flurry. No snowy scene is complete without a touch of Decoart Fine Glitter!
You can find the Sentiment HERE
I used some pine boughs from the Pine Sprig Set
I also used a touch of Designer Paper that i've had kicking around quite awhile as well as two different embossing Folders!

This was a super quick card!


I used the Star Tree
Coloured with Copics completed in a Jiffy!!
