Winter Owl!

Hello OCS Fans!

We finally have some winter weather and snow here in Ontario Canada. I'm feeling like this little "Winter Owl" from High Hopes Stamps is perfect for the Winter vibe here! 

I've had this paper from LDRS Called "Arctic Winter" that I've been dying to use and it was perfect for this adorable "Winter Owl" image. Winter Owl actually has some Christmas ornaments in the stamp. I masked them off before stamping my image for more of a winter theme rather than Christmas. I added Crystal Stickles to the pink areas on her hat and scarf and Liquid Appliqué to the snow on the branches. A bit pink bow finishes everything off.

I popped the inner octagon and image up with foam tape for a dimensional look.

More papers for a decorated inside and the High Hopes "Winter Wonderland" sentiment.

Copics Used:

Oh the Weather Outside is .....

Oh the weather outside is frightful

But the fire is so delightful

Since we've no place to go

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

It doesn't show signs of stoppin'

And I've brought some corn for poppin'

The lights are turned down low

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Yesterday we were under a heavy snowfall warning of 20 - 25 cm, and mother nature did not disappoint!

So my card for today's here at One Crazy Stamper blog was inspired by it....

First off I must say that you should never heat emboss and then color with your Copics, as the two seem to not really like each other (guess who will be replacing a few Copic nibs in the near future).  Oh well, lesson learned and I'm passing it on to all of my followers.  Now, back to the card - the image is High Hopes Rubber Stamps Winter Wonderland U-013.  I stamped the image with Versamark and heat embossed it with a white embossing powder, and then I colored it.  Excuse the streaky sky - I was going for the northern lights and really messed it up when the reaction occurred - sigh!  After coloring the image, I once again stamped with Versamark( thank goodness for the MISTI) and added more white embossing powder.  The next time I think I'll stamp the image with a light color, color it with my Copics, and then heat embossed the white over the finished product.

Howdy OCS Fans!

Santa is giving Rudolph a bit of a rest before his big night Christmas Eve! This is the adorable "Reindeer Games" from High Hopes Stamps!

I chose this plaid paper from an older Lawn Fawn 6x6 collection! There's just something about plaid that always gets me! I stamped and then coloured my image with my Copic Markers. I added the outline and sky with my markers as well. Then I added some snowflakes using Liquid Appliqué. I let it dry then heated it up and voilá they puff up! Glitter was added for the snow effect. I also added the HH sentiment called "Winter Wonderland" on a tiny tag die.

On the inside I used the "Sparkle & Cheer" sentiment from High Hopes.

Copics Used:

Santa: E00, E1, E21, R22, R24, R27, N6, N7, N8, C1, C2, C3

Winter Wonderland!

Hi OCS Friends!

I'm popping in today to share with you this card using the High Hopes "Snowman Flakes 4 U" image! I just love the little scene and the friendship between the snowman and the cardinal!

My paper today is from the Bo Bunny "Powder Mountain" 6x6 collection. I also used the Impression Obsession Birch Trees die to add a bit of interest and inked all the edges of my card with Distress Ink in Vintage Photo. The sentiment is also from High Hopes and is called "Winter Wonderland".
