Hi everyone!  This week's challenge at Stamptacular Sunday is...."Winter Bliss".  Simply create a project or card with a winter scene.  Oh, and if you create a scene all on your own, your name will be entered three times!  We look forward to seeing your project...hope you'll play along!

This week's sponsor:

Saturated Canary

prize: choice of 2 digi stamps

For my cards, I used an older stamp from Penny Black.  This first card, I stamped on kraft paper from Core'dinations.  The design papers are from the paper collection, Jingle{LilyBee Design}The sentiment is from a stamp set from Lil' Inker Designs.  The border punch I used is the Snow Flurry from Martha Stewart and the image is layered with the Spellbinders die, lacey circle.  To finish off the card, I hand stitched using some dark brown twine and added pearl adhesives to the two corners.

I decided to make this second card using the same image, but on white cardstock.  The design papers are from last year's paper collection, Believe{Recollection}.  I used a Sizzix die, Christmas tree #2 and trimmed the bottom of the tree.  The paper is the Whitewash Colorcore{Core'dinations} and ran it through with the swiss dot embossing folder.  To bring out the green cardstock, I sanded the paper a few times.
