Happy New Year crafty peeps! Ready for a new year of fun challenges? Of course you are! For this week's challenge at SHOPPING OUR STASH we want you to use something NEW! (Or, at least, new to you! ☺) Here's what I made:
and the inside:
My 'new to me' items are the fir tree stamps by Rubber Dance stamps. I purchased this set recently, but haven't until now inked them up. It was time. ☺ This card was fun to make. I used four of the fir stamps and two sizes of pine cones, a few different green inks and was done. Well, almost. It still needed something, so I went over all the needles and pine cones with diamond Stickles.
Ooooh! Shiny!!
So, did you get any new crafty schtuff for Chistmas? Have a stamp set that hasn't been opened yet? It's time to use them! Be sure to link up at Shopping Our Stash - we want to see it! Please also check out what my teammates created while there and leave them some bloggy love! Have a wonderful day!

Very pretty! Nice decision to add the Stickles. (Too nitpicky for me, I think!) Maybe you should come and join us at Naughty or Nice this month... ;)
ReplyDeleteSTICKLES! The perfect perfect touch for that icy shimmer! I love it :)
ReplyDeleteLove the natural, organic feel to this, Chris... and the Stickles? Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to see you use the Pines Fir Yew set of stamps you ordered from me! They're pretty cool, aren't they? ;-) Love your card, and the Stickles add the perfect icing on the cake.
