There's A LOT of new wintery stamps from Crissy Armstrong, Meljens and Ann Vento. But that's not all - Whimsy now has a line of metal dies as well - the first one is a ticket die, perfect for cutting out ticket sentiment stamps! And you can also put in preorder for THIS:
It's called Winter's Jewel 1 and should be shipping in week's time or so - an absolutely stunning snowflake metal die - and it embosses as well!!
Oh, and there's 10 new designs for custom rubber stamps too - have a look!!
Now, if you're coming from Claudia's blog, you're on right track. If not, you might want to start over from Crissy's blog.
My card uses a beautiful angel from a Peace on Earth set created by Crissy Armstrong. The sentiment is in the same set, along with several others. I used another image stamp in that set to stamp a frame around the angel.
I coloured the angel in distress inks, trying a out a bit different approach and style for me - which, as you can see, needs A LOT of practice! lol Most of the embellies on that card came in a RAK from WONDERFUL friend Tara! I am incredibly lucky!
My goal was to achieve a very vintage and softly wintery look and I think I came pretty darn close!!
The image looks actually better irl, the embossing is lovely but VERY hard to photograph. :(
The next stop in the hop is our fabulous, fantastic ERIN! she has something real pretty for you...

I couldn't wait to see what you would create, Annika, and you never disappoint! I think it's already been said, but this is jaw-droppingly, drool-worthy GORGEOUS. Your coloring is a work of art and having her gold embossed makes it seem like she is absolutely glowing. I love the sepia tones and the way you used the pine bough to frame her - brilliant (but not surprising!). Another Annika Masterpiece!

You crack me up! And you've got it backwards - I'm the one that comes to your site for inspiration! LOL - too funny! :-P
I totally love this card and all the embellishments you piled on - gorgeous! I haven't tried the distressed inks yet - we're they difficult? Before you answer, you should know that I despise water coloring! :D LOL!
Anyway, don't worry about the colors list if you cant find it. I'm going to give the skin colors a try first. ;D
Woohooooooo! Just look how you used those goodies I sent you..... I knew they would be right up your street and you've done an amazing job! Don't even start me on that image and the way you've coloured her..... WOOOOOOW!!!! I can't believe how good this card is and I reckon who ever receives it is in for such a treat, because I bet it dazzles in the light!!
