First up, a southwest themed card~
I used the new Mountain Layers Slimline Stamp Set. Oh my goodness, I am a mountain girl at heart and had to have these stamps! Once I stamped my red rocks, I decided to fussy cut along the top edge and added a monoprint sky that I had in my stash. I stamped the darling Cactus Stamp 3 times, colored them with Copics, made a few alterations to make them unique and added to the scene. The Don't Look Back sentiment was stamped in black IO ink.
Next up, a simple but elegant Christmas card; I think these may be my card for this year.
The trees from the Bare Treeline Duo Stamp Set were stamped in Versamark ink and heat embossed with black ep. They looked kind of like they were floating in air so I grounded them by stamping one of the Mountain Layers stamps in a very light grey behind the trees.
I free handed a snowy hill for in front of the trees and added 2 deer to the scene using the Deer Trio Dies. I colored them loosely with Copics. I finished the card off with the Heavenly Peace sentiment, Wink of Stella on the trees and some clear sequins.
Ready for more inspiration? Enjoy the hop!
