I'm loving these new stamps from Elzybell's ! Ok, I know that I love all of the stamps at Elzybells, but I'm in the mood for the Holidays, even though I can't believe that it's so coming around the corner! But, I decided that I needed to play with my stamps today, Hubby went on a bike ride in the woods...so, I said let's play to my stamp room! So, I noticed that there was a challenge up, and that spurred me on to try my hand at it! Here goes....
You were supposed to use texture...I used my Cuttlebug folders and a small craft envie, I stamped the Winter song stamp on plain CS and then colored with my copics and Koh-I-Noor pencils and baby oil to smooth out the color of the pencils...makes 'em like butter! nice and creamy. any ways....I ran the little envie thru the Cuttlebug and inked it up to give it a worn out feel, then wrapped some red checked ribbon around the belly of the envie and attached it to some DP for the background (sorry don't know who it by, but it was a big stackish book of it!) I also made a little poem and printed it from my computer for the little card to slide into the envie, then I put a small snowflake brad on the top corner...it's cute if I do say so!
