I keep telling my friend Holly, who is one of the great gals that runs the Friday Mashup blog, that I'm going to start stamping again and work on their challenges. I havent kept my word on that and I feel bad about it. I know my dad would want me to do the things that make me happy but grief is a hard thing and I'm working through things one day at a time. For the new year I am pledging to get back on the stamp train and start getting a good stash of cards again. I started today with the challenge from the Mashup blog, which was a sketch from Holly.
The card base is Early Espresso and the stamp is from the set A Wish for Peace. I stamped it on Whisper White in Always Artichoke. I then used some Frost White shimmer paint on it to make it look like snow sparkling on the trees. The 1 3/8" circles were punched out of Deck the Halls DSP and ribbon in Always Artichoke finished it off.
Supplies used(all supplies SU unless otherwise noted):
Stamps: A Wish For Peace
Paper: Early Espresso, Whisper White, Deck the Halls DSP
Ink: Always Artichoke
Accessories: Always Artichoke ribbon, Frost White shimmer paint, 1 3/8" circle punch, sponge, dimensionals
