I recently bought this lovely Hero Arts Snowy Night cling stamp ,, thinking it would be good for quick and easy cards ,,, which it COULD be am sure ,,, this one took me AGES though !! lol :-) I made the paper for the background and the image by brayering a Big and Juicy ink pad, not sure which one but it goes from dark blue to light pink and applied the ink to plain white card, for the background I then stamped a PB script stamp in black ink. The snowy night was stamped using the same black ink . I sprayed it with Silver Glimmer Mist and added Star Dust Stickles for extra sparkle, it does look lovely and shimmery IRL. I added some spotty organza ribbon and some glittered punched stars to finish. the sentiment is from a Hero Arts sentiment set.
