Paper Artsy Zinski Art 19

Hi all, its time for the new monthly theme over on the ABC Christmas Challenge. This time the lovely Carol is hosting and the theme is 

E   for EMBOSS
F  for FRILLS 
and/or

G for GLITTER 

I used a new and fabulous Paper Artsy Zinski Art 19 set. 

I  saw this fabulous card made by Kathy K and had to get this set! 

I stamped Rudolphs face and then masked before sprinkling Royal Blood Infusions onto the Watercolor Paper and then spritzing with water, I love the effect the infusions give, fabulously artsy don't you think!  When that was dry I used a Snowfall Stencil and White Embossing Paste to create some more texture and while it was still wet I sprinkled with Lawn Fawn Prisma Glitter. 

I coloured Rudoph and Santa using some lovely vibrant Zig Pens and added some glossy accents to Rudolph's eyes and little antler baubles.

you can see the snow a little better from this angle 

and I finished the inside 

I sort of got my wires crossed here and thought 'F' was for Fringe instead of frills and I added a scarf to Rudolph, still glad I did though, I think he looks fabulous with his scarf, it sorta hides a little bit of his ugly Christmas jumper ;-) haha

Simon Says: Whatever The Weather

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge

This week we are challenging you to create something using the weather as your inspiration.

Whatever The Weather  

We are showcasing Tim Holtz Products this week. you don't have to use them but if you have them we would love to see them used. I am sure, most, if not all of us have at least one of Tim's Products ;-) 

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away a $50 gift voucher to one randomly selected winner to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

This week we are welcoming the lovely and super talented Bonnie aka My Stuff My Life into the Designer Spotlight. If you haven't visited Bonnie's blog then you are in for a real treat!! Please pop over to say 'Hi'

I was inspired by all the snow engulfing the UK at the moment and made a Christmas card using an array of Tim Holtz Products 

I started by smooshing Broken China and Faded Jeans Distress Oxide Inks onto a Ranger Non Stick Craft Mat and then swooshing some Watercolor Paper through it. I ironed it dry and then used a a Flurry Background Stamp and heat embossed using White Pigment Ink and Sparkle Puff Embossing Powder. I used a Merry Christmas Die and cut out Silver Glitter Paper, Schoolhouse Red and Black 

and a Santa with his reindeers from a Village Christmastime Die Set.

for the inside I used a Paper Artsy Let It Snow Stamp Set 

Thanks for looking! 

So now it's YOUR turn to get creating!
