Hauptzutat: Liebe - Main Ingredient: Love

Hi there,

I created this adorable snowmen card using the Create a Smile Geheime Zutat stamp set:

• stamp images from the Create a Smile Geheime Zutat set with Versafine Onyx Black 
• color them with Prismacolor Colored Pencils and add highlights with a white gel pen
• create a background with Distress Oxide Inks (Blueprint Sketch, Wilred Violet)
• add splatters with pearlized water for extra sparkle and texture
• add a strip of patterned paper from the BoBunny Candy Cane Lane 6x6 paper pad at the bottom of the panel
• add dimension to the noses and the hearts with Nuvo Crystal Glaze and Nuvo Jewels Drops Strawberry Coulis
• stamp the sentiment from the same set with Versamark and heat-emboss it with Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder

I hope you got inspired.

Hugs,

Hi there,

it's time for the annual STAMPlorations Giving Thanks Blog Hop and I used the brand new STAMPlorations Leaves of Thanks stamp set on my project:

• cut out a mask from acetate with three squares
• stamp three of the leaves from the STAMPlorations Leaves of Thanks set with Versafine Clair Nocturne into the opening
• mask the leaves and add color around them with Distress Inks (Scattered Straw, Wild Honey, Fired Brick) and a Mini Ink Blending Tool
• color the leaves with Derwent Inktense pencils and a damp watercolor brush
• cut out the CUTploartions Blessed word die from kraft cardstock
• add splatters with watered-down Distress Stain Tarnished Brass
• adhere the watercolor panel to a brown cardbase

Enjoy the rest of the hop.
