Snowman Card






I made this Clean and Simple card using a Digital Stamp from Tiddly Inks called Something Warm (you can find it here) and a Tag Sentiment from Hero Arts.  I colored the snowman with Prismacolor Pencils and Gamasol and added some Crystal Stickles on the snowbank (sorry-its difficult to see in the picture).  Just a quick but sweet Christmas Card!

I plan to enter this card into the following challenges:

Flower Cards



These cards were inspired by a challenge by Card Positioning Systems.  I used some digital flower stamps I found through Free Digital Stamps on Friday through the Rusty Pickle.  All of the digis are now free!




I made the Daffodils Card first and I ended up loving it so much I immediately made another!  I plan to make a few more for a card set-Just need to get more of this shade of kraft paper!  I'm thinking maybe purple hydrangeas and something in blue...



I plan to enter these cards into the following Challenges:
