Here’s a sample of a card I made last month using the Santa Face stamp.

The Santa face and the holly in the background was masked and then sponged in Vintage Photo ink. The images were then colored with Copic markers.

For today’s card I decided to use watercolor paper and my favorite Shimmer Spray recipe (See Below) to create the sparkly blue background. I masked the bottom area with a couple post it notes and then sprayed. I dried it with a heat tool.

The tree was stamped in Ranger Distress Peeled Paint and then I misted the paper with water to let the ink bleed a bit. I dried the paper with heat tool and then stamped over the top of the first tree with Peeled Paint. The tree trunk was watercolored with a waterbrush and Ranger Distress Walnut Stain ink.

I used Liquid Applique for the snow. I poofed it with a heat tool. I then tore all the edges and sponged with Ranger Distress Walnut Stain ink. I scruffed up all the edges to give it an aged feel.

Here’s the Shimmer Spray recipe:

Combine in a small mist bottle -

1 dropper full Ranger Distress Broken China

2 oz. water and a 1/4 teaspoon Perfect (not Pearl Ex) - Perfect Sparkle

Shake well and spray!

Here’s a close up of the sparkly shimmer:

A couple months ago the Dirty Dozen and Dirty Dozen Alumni decided that we get together and do a challenge each month.

This month’s challenge is to:

• Make a penguin card.

• It has to have “ice” (sparkle).

• No blue anywhere on the card - THE HARD PART!!!

I chose this sweet little Penguin from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. The image was stamped on white CS with Ranger Distress Black Soot ink. I colored the image with Copic markers. I punched him out with a Marvy Giga circle punch. I added some Liquid Applique for the snow and poofed it with a heat tool.

I sponged the edge lightly with Ranger Black Soot ink - I stamped off nearly all the ink before I started sponging to get a light gray. I then added some Diamond Stickles to the bow.

Here he is!

Stamps: K-035 Package Packin’ Penguin - High Hopes Rubber Stamps

Paper: Georgia Pacific White, Ruby Red, Bravo Burgundy

Ink: Ranger Distress Black Soot, Walnut Stain
