Hey there, we were talking during my last MOT (Memories of Time) class when I realized I haven't colored a Santa in a while, so I broke out Chimney of Toys from Whipper Snapper Designs. I picked up three really cool Santa stamps in my last WSD order. I might have to ink up the others just because. *grin* Before I get into the card details...I have a winner to announce! And the winner (random draw) is...Sara Rosamond! Congrats, Sara! Email me with your address and I'll get the die out in the mail.
Now, about the card. It was stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White then colored with Copics markers. Gotta love a CAS layout this time of year, huh? I seriously LOVE the way the bricks turned out! I can't take credit though. I would have never in a million years came up with that color scheme! The credit actually belongs to Jennifer Dove. You've probably seen her "Color of the Day" all over Pinterest. Well, one of the colors was "brick", so I figured I would give it a try...really happy with the results!

Hey there, it's been a Friday play day for me...woot! I dug out one of my new stamps from Whimsy/Wee Stamps called Silver Fairy. What a beautiful image! I colored her up in fall colors today. Confession time...I bought the MFT Sunflower die yesterday and when I got it home, I realized I already had it! D'oh! So, instead of taking it back, I've decided to offer it as a little blog candy. Do you have it already? Are you interested in winning it? All you have to do is become a follower of my blog (if you aren't already) and leave a comment on this post. Want an extra entry? Follow me on Facebook and leave a comment on my One Happy Stamper page. I'll draw a winner on Monday...good luck!
The fairy was stamped with Tuxedo Black on Neenah card stock then cut out using the out-of-the-box with a Nestie technique. It's a really cool technique and you can find a great tutorial at Splitcoaststampers. The sunflower was die cut, colored with Copic markers, shaped on a soft mat with a stylus then Glossy Accents was put on the flower's center. That used to be one of my favorite products, and it's been forever since I used it. I forgot how long it takes to dry...sheesh! The layout is Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #197. LOVE Karen's layouts! I'm also entering this into the CMC Anything Goes #82 challenge.
