Hello! Christmas is rolling right along! The little craft room elves (me) have been busy working around the clock making Christmas cards. How come every single year I say I'm going to start waaaaay ahead of time and every year I don't start waaaaay ahead of time!? I'm not as behind as last year. It all gets done, though, somehow. How are you coming along on your Christmas cards? It's been a good weekend so far and now I'm just wrapping some presents, making cards, and catching up on emails and blogging. Kinda wish I didn't have to go to work tomorrow...
Today's card was made using a pretty stamp from Amuse. The entire circle is one big stamp. There are so many things you could do with it. To me it kind of looks like a snow globe without the bottom part.
Supplies...Not too many markers this time! Just a little bit of coloring and not really any shading involved. I used BG000 for the outline of the snowy hills. After I stamped and colored the image, I cut it out. Then I smashed the entire image into the Glue Pad and covered it (and me, and everything else) in microfine crystal glitter!
Layered dusty green, red and brown to pick up the colors in the cabin and trees. Stamped the snowflakes and the sentiment in Brilliance White Ink. Need to let that dry for a long time if you use it. The bottom layer was edged with a Martha Stewart punch. It's very spark-a-lay!!
wow...love the amazing sparkle!!

What a pretty card, Wanda! I love that round Christmas stamp. I so love a cozy woodsy scene for the holidays. Looks so pretty with the scalloped circle die cut and the white stamping, and the fine glitter is just fabulous. LOVE that bling!

I love how cozy this card is! The image does look like your are looking into a snow globe scene and the scalloped circle reminds me of a wreath! Awesome card Sistah!
