Hi there!

Today I’m finally using a beautiful cling stamp called ‘Snowed In’ (40-916) that was kindly sent to me by Penny Black.

I sometimes feel intimidated by landscape stamps and I had originally planned to colour this stamp with different Tombow markers. But then I stamped it with Speckled Egg distress oxide ink as a practice and loved how it turned out – so I ended up working with that! I masked off the image and blended Tumbled Glass and Stormy Sky distress ink for the sky. I then cut the Snowman Joy die (51- 272) from white glitter card and added some colour using my alcohol markers.

I cut into the landscape and tucked the base of the snowman between the card and adhered the image to my card base. I added a sentiment from the Song of Peace mini set (30-999) and lots of glitter, which I hope you can see in this photo!

I still felt the card needed something else… first I tried to lift some of the ink from the sky but it wasn’t successful (this was due to the cardstock which is different from my usual card). So I adhered some small snowflakes from the Snow Family die set (51-395) cut from different colour holographic card – it was only when I was photographing the card that I realised that the smaller flakes from the Snow Shimmer Stick and Shine sheets would have worked just as well!

Thanks for stopping by!
