Looooove this image, another new one from Crafty Individuals which is CI 399 and called ‘Winter Wonderland’. Jean is showing how the DT have used this stamp in a multitude of different ways on her blog where you can also join in with the Festive Spirit challenge for December.
This is my version.
This is my version.
I started with white card and stamped the image in plum archival and watercoloured with distress inks.
Some scraps of paper have been cut and inked and layered behind the image.
The movers and shapers mini snowflake was cut in chipboard and is covered with iridescent paste, aged mahogany distress ink and star dust stickles…..
… and the stickles also added to the falling snow. The sentiment is computer generated.
This one is hopefully flat enough to go easily in the post, but will need a large stamp.
Off to do my last workshop of the year at The Art of Craft this morning, we are making a non-Christmassy mini album from one sheet of 12 x 12 Coredinations paper and lots of bird themed stamps from Crafty Individuals.
Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by.

Hi Brenda, that really is a beautiful stamp. At first I though you have made a little pile of books in the background - what a great idea. Love that you used non traditional colours too. Hugs, Anne x

Love those strips of paper (I have loads!) behind the focal image. And it's so nice to see stamping in other than black.

Outstanding Brenda. I LOVE the stamping in plum, the use of Stickles and the strips of paper to frame your image. Hope your class is enjoyable. Jenny x
Gorgeous and so very, very pretty. Love the use of paper on this card.
I have enjoyed inking up this stamp for many of the handmade cards I sent out, such a sweet image, I am sure it will become a favourite for many CI fans.

Such a lovely card, Brenda! That stamp is delightful and I love the color palette you chose to do it in. The stickler snow flakes are the perfect embellishment!

I love this stamp and what you made with it. So happy to finally "get through" to your blog so that I can post some comments.
This is such a gorgeous stamp and you have used it to perfection! Love how you have stamped it in plum, great design too!
Thanks so much for your sweet comment earlier, they all arrived safe and well and I have had the most wonderful day full of smiles and little cuddles. (she is still a bit shy after so long). All fast asleep now after more than 36 hours on the plane...
So effective with the patterned strips against the kraft, and I love the image stamped in plum - an absolute delight of a card!
