Gena K Blog Hop Cards

I used a cuttlebug embossing folder on the green mat and then gently rubbed white brilliance ink on the raised snowflakes. I used copic markers to color the image.

I used Rupa's Winter Friends stamp set again for this card.Used a snowflake border embossing folder to do the blue snowflakes. I also rubbed white brilliance ink on top of them to make them stand out more.The house and tree were colored wtih Copic markers and cut with spellbinders die's. The colors are outside the box for me but I have been seeing so much of the pastels this year I had to try it. I like the results! You can see more ideas if you go to Gena K's Blog there will be links to lots of other blogs.Thanks for looking and have fun blog hopping.

Playing with new stamps!

I got a box with some new stamps from Gena K and could not wait to play with them!
I stamped the holly spray from the Very Merry Christmas set by Theresa Momber. I got out my prisma color pencils and started with my lighter shade of green and then went back ober it with the darker shade in the center and along one of the edges to give it some demention. I did the same with the bow and berry's only this time with red.
The pink Jar you see has odorless terpintine in it. I use the nubs you see pictured to blend the colors together. I use small circular motions to blend the the light and dark colors together smoothly.
I then used a nestability to die cut it and mat it.
We had our first hard frost yesterday and even a few snow flakes in the air. So working on Christmas projects is easy to do in this kind of weather.
I hope you have a great day and find some time to work on your Holiday projects soon.
