Colourful Christmas with Snow is Glistening

I have loved playing with the Snow is Glistening stamp set, and really enjoyed creating these colourful cards with the Stamparatus.

I inked up the stamp using sponge daubers, then stamped onto the Whisper White cardstock. The great thing about the Stamparatus is that if you miss a bit, you can stamp again, perfectly.

Non-traditional Christmas copper

Gotta love a bit of copper and I think it makes a great choice for a non-tradtional Christmas card.

I’ve embossed the big tree from Snow is Glistening onto some Wood Textures Designer Series Paper (Kelly's idea, of course!). Similar to Wednesday’s projects, I sponged around the edges again, this time in Cajun Craze and Early Espresso, before splashing with Frost White Shimmer Paint (love this stuff!).

I finished off with some copper accents using the Detailed Deer dies. I stamped the deer in black Stazon onto Copper Foil before die-cutting him out. He hasn't stamped fully but I quite like that as it shows off more of the copper and it gives him a slightly 'aged' effect.

Snow is glistening, snowflakes are glowing

Clean and Simple these cards ain’t! But sometimes it’s fun to get stuck in and enjoy some fun techniques. 

I made these projects using the new, limited edition Snow is Glistening stamp set, which is available for November only, and even then only while supplies last.

For all of these cards, I used Pacific Point cardstock and stamped and embossed in white; I find white ink AND white embossing powder gives you a stronger image.
I sponged around the image in Pacific Point ink, then around the edges of the cardstock in Blueberry Bushel to provide more depth. This seems to make the images ‘glow’. 

For the starry/snowy event, I flicked some Frost White Shimmer Paint over the cardstock; I love it! I used the same paint, mixed with this Real Red ink, to create the delicate red dots, but here I must issue a word of caution, as over a week later, they still haven’t fully dried and I need to get round to sealing them somehow.
