I had a little bit of time to play around with some of the new stamps that arrived this week. Here are two quick cards using designs by Stephanie Tafoya. These are some designs she had done for me last year. The words are all taken from the Skinny Dip alphabet.
The first card uses the Doodle Snowflake along with the "Joy" sentiment from the Holidoodle set. It is hard to capture but the images were painted using Twinkling H20's. There is a nice festive shimmer to the snowflakes and sentiment.
The second card also uses the "Joy" sentiment along with the little snowflake in the set. I used that on the paper ribbon that runs across the card. One of my favorite things is to stamp my own background papers. I did it below with the "to the world" sentiment that is in the Holidoodle set. I also pulled out the chalks to highlight the sentiment a bit. I always loved how this looked in Stephanie's work. The patterned paper is from Chatterbox.
oh i'm so glad you got a chance to play - and such adorable cards! wonderful Michele!
