Then stamped truck image in black and colored with copics; cut with labels framelit.

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.
