Oh Snowy Night

Inspired by my front yard...

I first stamped the tree from LOVELY AS A TREE set in basic black onto basic gray cardstock. Stamped again and then "stamped off" before masking and then stamping the lighter background trees. Then using the stamp a ma jig, I stamped a light shadow of very vanilla, inking the left side of the stamp heavier than the right. Sponged in very vanilla across the bottom, and sponged the moon in reverse punch out of 1 3/8" circle.

Sentiment is from teeny tiny wishes.

Bleached Thank You

I stamped the flower from BLOOMING WITH KINDNESS set in espresso ink on crumb cake cardstock. Colored flowers with an old blender pen and bleach. Used the blender pen on the edge of the circle for added dimension after stamping thank you from the retired silhouette sentiments set. Used my fingernail to distress edges of scallop, circle and itty bitty flower. The card is so saffron cardstock.
