Visible Image, Enchanted Snowflakes & Winters Miracle stamps

hi guys, its me with my weekly Visible Image post...

yes i know its not Saturday lol, i swapped with my teamie sue, so she will be posting some loveliness on Saturday and you get me today :)

so this post i have used the New 

Enchanting Snowflakes & Winters Miracle verse

i did the same ( almost) card in two colourways

first i went all traditional Christmas colours, its pretty and i love the green snowflake flower, but as i sat putting the finishing touches i saw it in my minds eye all white and silver and sparkly like a cold crisp winter day.

traditional

 Winter white,

i enjoyed making the snowflake flowers so much i made a few extra 

these are just glitter where the green and silver ones are embossed

to make these i stamped the 3 smallest snowflakes from the set, onto quite thick tracing paper once stamped and embossed or glittered, i let dry then scrunched, layered and added a gem, the photo really doesn't do them justice, they are so christmassy

you can find the stamps here

Hi guys, time for my weekly Visible Image DT post.

This week I'm bringing you some wonderful new stamp sets, one is a set of fabulous new

 Enchanting Snowflakes Designed by Mark and the other is a beautiful verse written by Helen Called Winters Miracle .

This first card is a plain white base then stamped with clear embossing ink, and embossed with clear embossing powder,  next I used silver embossing powder, and finally I stamped the snowflakes

With a glue pad and sprinkled with glamour dust.

The verse was stamped and embossed on silver, cut put and matted on sticky pads.

this next one was once again a plain white base card which I again embossed the snowflakes in clear, next I used Broken China & Dusty Concord Distress inks and sponged them all over blending them together, I made a tag with the verse using the same method to colour it, then I used some beautiful purple sparkling ribbon to look like a wrapped parcel.

really beautiful stamp sets for your Christmas card making .

Both available now at Visible Image stamps

ps there is also a fantastic competition over on the fb page to win £20 worth of visible image stamps as well as the challenge over on the blog,  so get making and you could win yourself some lovely new stash.

Visible Image and a Trio of Trees

hi guys a Visible Image post today and i have done a Trio of Trees using Winter Tree

these cards are so simple but very effective

this first one is simple the tree stamped on a white card, i then stamped randomly all over with the tiny snowflake from the snowflake background stamp which is sadly now discontinued,but is being replaced with the new Enchanting Snow flakes....

seriously how beautiful are they, cant wait to get hold of them and have a play!

anyway i digress lol back to the card ..... i used a glue pad, and sprinkled with glamour dust, then i drew some lines with glue and again used the glamour dust.

this second one is even simpler,but i love it, as you guys know I'm not a clean and simple kinda crafter lol, but i do really love it, i think it would make a nice sympathy card too as well as a winter celebration card

and finally a splash of colour! these really are my favourite shades, this back ground was made using a technic i saw in a magazine, must have been craft stamper because that the only one i buy lol.

its a tequnic using gesso, you spread it quite thick on a piece of card, then while still wet you lay another piece of card over the top , squish them together then pull apart , and there you have 2 pieces of lovely textured card, once dry you can colour with whichever medium you wish, i used watercolour crayons, just scribbled over , then went over with a fairly wet brush, once dry cut to size.

and there you have it a trio of trees, it might seem like a quite simple stamp but it is very versatile, you can do simple cards with it, or dress it up with tiny leaves or blossom, or even use it as an edging design on your cards, just let your imagination run with it.

happy crafting
