Snowy Delights!

Another day... another sneak peek for Flourishes' November stamp set release and this one is about as charming as it gets!


This beautiful winter scene, drawn by Lauren Pope takes us back to a quieter time when a day was enjoyed skating on the neighborhood pond or taking your honey on a sleigh ride for two. This set looks fabulous colored or as a stamp and go creation! It even has elements to create an actual postcard with a vintage feel! How fun is that? This set is available now for pre-order HERE!

Now to my creation!

I knew I wanted to make this seem like a winter scene with just a little light color -- so I colored up just the "important things" like the trees, skaters, pond and the frame. While I didn't add glitter, I think before I officially send this one out, I am going to had to add some sparkle! ;-)

After stamping on Flourishes Classic White card stock, I used Copic markers and instead of using layers of color, I really only used one marker here and there - YG63, Y21, R29, B000, W3, B24, Y13 and then blended with the Copic Colorless Blender.


The rest is just matting it up! I used some of the mirrored paper in red, some sparkly May Arts ribbon and some fabulous Webster's Pages decorative paper. Easy peasy!

Would you like to win this set? Head on over to the Flourishes blog and leave a comment HERE!
