Happy Winter

Hello everyone!

I finally have a chance to enter a challenge! I haven't enetered one in so long and it feels good to be able to participate again.

This happy winter card is for the Karen's Doodles challenge "Spots and Stripes" I love this winter paper and it's perfect because it's full of spots and stripes :)

My stamp is "first taste of snow" and you can get it at the Karen's Doodles online store. I printed, coloured and cut the image out and left the mittens popped up a little. I've added lots of glitter and tinsel and finished it off with some wintery embelishments. I hope you love it and you have a few more days to enter the challenge yourself if you want your chance to win some free images!

My next card is for the ISC challenge this week. We needed to use felt somewhere on the card and well, I have this fun sparkly felt I found one day and love it for snow. This stamp from Stampin Up is one of my all time favorite Christmas stamps. It's called merry minstrels and I just love everything about it. There are some other pieces in it that you can layer and I am sure I will add some of those in the next few weeks. The tree is cut from my cricut winter woodlands cartridge and I have added snow with Martha Stewart's white tinsel and a few extra dazzling diamonds glitter on their coats. The background is run through my cuttlebug with my snowflakes folder and sanded down to bring out the white. Enjoy!

My last project is another ATC..I am still thinking I am not so good at these, but I am trying. Since I have only made a few I am still in the learning stage. I used a darling stamp from Pink Cat Studio called Itty Bitty Bobby turkey ride. I added just a few embellishment leaves and a rub on. I just need a little more practice filling in these tiny spaces I think..I am not going to give up.
