Snowstorm

Here is the snowstorm card I promised my granddaughter. I have done one of my favourite backgrounds, as before distressing in iced spruce and stormy sky. Then stamping with the fir trees, second generation stamping. The large snow laden tree in the foreground was edged with Stickles glitter glue. I cannot remember the names of any of the stamps used but the image was embossed then coloured with copics. I stuck it onto an empty tape reel then fixed it to the card and filled with white glitter. Stuck acetate over the top then fixed a decorative top to hide the reel. The top and greeting was cut from the same background which was from my stash. I cut out some glitter snowflakes which I fixed to the decorative top and over the snowflakes on the greeting. She loved it!

When Santa got stuck in the chimney.........

This card is for my very good friend's gt.grand children. I thought Woodware's Santa stamp On the chimney top was ideal for two toddlers under the age of four! I covered a card with spotty paper from stash which I distressed with stormy sky. Stamped and embossed the image then coloured with copics and cut out. Mounted this onto the card then got some white sparkly card which I tore along the top and stuck at the bottom of the card, covering the chimney so it looks like a snowy roof. The footprints were a freebie stamp. I stamped the 'stop here' sign and stuck just under the 'snow'. I have added some Stickles glitter glue to the top of the chimney, the roof and the sign. For Santa's fur on his outfit I used white Liquid Appliqué which I then heated. Lastly I stamped and embossed the 'Ho,Ho,Ho' in the sky.
