Stamp Simply--- New TOYS!

It's Friday, which means it's time for another Stamp Simply challenge courtesy Sharon Johnson! (ssnotime67 on SCS) This time, it's all about the fun crafty things that the man in the big red suit might have brought..... YOU!

I kind of cheated! I got my hands on this little Lizzie Anne Designs stamp not too long ago and hadn't broken it in yet! So, my card was created with "new toys," just was not a toy that was delivered by Santa! But, that's ok -- Sharon says if you didn't get anything new for Christmas, just use the newest thing you got -- whether it be stamps, paper, tools, embellishments -- whatever!

Well, first things first, I wanted to play with my Shimmerz paints in a new way! I stamped the Lizzie Anne Designs snowmen and then used an Impression Obsession Accent Template that I set over the group and sponged some Sky Blue Shimmerz around the edges and then accented it with some Cloudy Blue Ranger ink. It's a very subtle sparkle but it actually helps it look like it's snowing on the little snow guys!
Here's a close up! You can see I added a little snowflake stamp too! Color the snow guys with some markers and then, of course, add some Angel Wings Shimmerz to their bodies to make them glisten! Mat it up and add a silver ribbon, felt flake and some bling and you are done! A cute card that was .... Stamped Simply!

I love that little snowman image! You've made it even more fun with all the glitter & sparkle! I think the only snow I'm going to see this year is on paper---it is going to be in the 50s here the next few days---no snowing in SE PA! TFS!
