Neat & Tangled Winter Wishes Stamp Set: Sentiment

Versamark Watermark Embossing Ink, 

Recollections Snow Embossing Powder, 

Tsukineko Dew Drop Versamagic Chalk Inks:

Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, 

Imagine Crafts Goosebumps Glimmer Texture Spray

Clear Snap Sugar Shimmer Fairy Dust Glitter

Neenah Solar White 110lb Cardstock

Sakura Quickie Glue Pen

Glitter Washi Tape

Wedge Sponge

Now here is how I made the snowflakes shine!

I embossed this stamp side by side and then versamarked the entire

bottom ot the card!  Once I added the embossing powder, I took a brush and brushed some off for a fresh snow drift look ... and so I would have some open white on the card to catch some sponged color.  I sponged some Tsukineko Versamagic inks darkest to lightest and drug the color for a streaked look.  If you look closely at the top edge I have used Imagine Crafts Tsukineko  for a cool frozen rain and textured effect.  Silver glitter washi tape along the bottom. Added the awesome Winter Wishes sentiment!

Here is the next cool set!

Winter Wishes 

From our Home to Yours.......(watercolor)...........

Supplies:

Neat & Tangled Winter Wishes Stamp Set

140lb Watercolor Paper 

Tsukineko Dew Drop Versamagic Sea Breeze

Tsukineko Dew Drop Brilliance Rocket Red

Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black Ink

Double Sided Foam Squares

Tombo Glue Tape Runner

Soft Gray DP Cardstock

Copic Sand

Now here is how I made a Whimsical Village!

I brushed water in a puddle swishing it around the middle of the watercolor paper panel.  Using the large house stamp I loaded it with ink and plunged it down not being careful of the appearance, repeating until I have most of the card filled.  I added the smaller home in rocket red and then with a sand copic marker added a path of  "muddy foot prints in the "snow."  A hand trimmed banner was added "popped up" on foam squares and centered. The sentiment "From our Home to Yours" is the perfect touch!

From our Home to Yours.......(vellum)...........

Supplies:

Neat & Tangled  Winter Wishes Stamp Set

Neenah Solar White 110lb Cardstock

Tsukineko Dew Drop Versamagic Sea Breeze

Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black Ink,

Tombo Glue Tape Runner

Double Sided Foam Squares

Signo Uniball White Gel Pen

Vellum Paper

Now here is how I made the Vellum Card!

I wanted to replicate a really neat designer paper that I love.  I cut a panel for the card front and sponged with Sea Breeze ink. Once dry I added lines across the paper vertically and horizontally with the white gel pen, smearing every so often.  I stamped the large image on the stamp set side by side across the card and then layered with vellum slightly larger than the panel. I added the hand cut banner placing at the bottom right of the panel.  I sure hope that you envision a glance out of a winter window too...

More to come tomorrow!!!!
