I've had 2 lots of great crafty news today! First off I woke up and found that I was this week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoaststampers! I've played in this challenge for years, so I can't wait to see what everyone creates! If you're on Splitcoast, I'd love it if you played along too :)AND I won the Be Square challenge at Simon Says Stamp with this card, so I've a $50 dollar spending spree coming up! Yippee! :) :) :)
It's been such Brrrrr chilly weekend that I was inspired to make my first Christmas card of 2017! I've used Snowman (assembled) from Eat Cake Graphics, and my gorgeous new alpha set from MFT. I'd been on the lookout for a 'grown up' alpha set for such a long time, that as soon as I saw this one in their new release I had it in my shopping basket! I inked up my background and added some Paper Smooches snowflakes cut from a snippet of silver card that was knocking round my table. Sparkle added to the snowman's hat and scarf, and clear gloss to his nose and buttons.

Congratulations on both your "wins" - featured stamper and $50 credit from Simon Says Stamp. Have you spent it yet? Your card today is fab. I always love chubby snowmen on winter/Christmas cards.
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutely charming card! I love how you kept it un-cluttered and clean-looking, yet it is still full of warmth and heart! And wow! You did justice to the alphabet! It makes me want to buy it myself! And congrats, too, for being featured on Splitcoast! I can certainly see why since you are so talented. I love everything about this card and am so glad you shared your work with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
