Today's card features a super sweet new stamp set called Winter Animals. It's a bunch of animal silhouette stamps. There are several bears, which I adore - I chose this handsome fella who's out enjoying the winter evening. I watercolored a strip of watercolor paper using my Daniel Smith paints, then die cut the shape with the fantastic new Tag Frames Infinity Dies. These are so useful - I'll be reaching for them all the time!! The message from the set was embossed in white on black cardstock, then cut out in strips. Snowflakes were added in unicorn white ink - the snowflake stamp is from another new set, Holiday Badges. My good ol' Stickles made a nice snowy ground, and I finished off the card with some sequins from the Frost mix. I love that it includes little stars!
I actually made a bunch of these, don't they look fun all piled together? Don't worry, I waited for the Stickles to dry (which of course was too long for my liking). hee hee
In case you missed it, I also created a couple tags this month - they were on the Hero Arts blog yesterday. I used other new products - the Paper Layering Santa Tag, Snowflake Tag Fancy Die and the beautiful Snowflake Pattern Bold Prints - and I combined them with messages from the main kit. Be sure to check them out on the Hero Arts blog for more detail!
And here's a closer look at the main kit, so much fun!! I created a few more projects with it - you can see them over on the Hero Arts website on the November page.
