Merry Christmas Cookies

Hi there,

I created this cute little Christmas Card using the Waffle Flower Cookie Time stamp set:

• stamp the scene using stamps from the Waffle Flower Cookie Time set with Memento Tuxedo Black
• color the images with Spectrum Noir Pencils
• add a strip of patterned paper from the My Mind's Eye Sugar Plum 6x6 paper pad to the top and the bottom of the panel
• create a background using some small images from the set, Neenah Desert Storm kraft cardstock and Versafine Vintage Sepia
• stamp the sentiment from the Clearly Besotted Stamps Tiny Type set with Versamark and heat-emboss it with WOW! Bright Super Fine embossing powder

Have a wonderful day.

Hugs,

Stamp Connection #45

Hi there,

connected through our love for card making, blogging and being from Germany we (Cornelia from Stempel Spass and I) decided to create a monthly project within predefined requirements. We are going to show you the result every 2nd Sunday of the month and this is our 45th transatlantic get-together!

Our requirement for this meet-up was:
"something new purchased a long time ago" 

• stamp one of the monsters from the Create a Smile Beast Feast onto a stitched panel cut from watercolor cardstock and color the image with Derwent Inktense Pencils and a damp watercolor brush
• add Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the eyes and Nuvo Glitter Accents Fresh Snowfall to the hill shape 
• stamp the sentiment from the same set with Versafine Onyx Black
• create a background on the cardbase using patterned paper from the My Mind's Eye Sugar Plum 6x6 paper pad and one of the My Favorite Things Stitched Scallop Edges
• adhere the watercolor panel with double-sided foam adhesive

Now make sure to hop over to see Cornelia's Creation.

Thanks for stopping by. We hope to see you again at the ...

Hugs,
