Country View Crafts Challenges - Hand Stamped

Happy November to you all.

Today is the start of a new challenge over at Country View Crafts.  The theme for November is hand stamped - one of my favourite things to do!  I was literally hooked when I started stamping.... and now my collection is huge!

Here is the first project for the challenge:

To create this card I made a Master Board.  Regular followers will have seen me create these a lot.  It is one of my favourite things to do.

I brayered PaperArtsy Fresco Acrylic Paints onto a sheet of card and then stencilled paint through a PaperArtsy Darcy Marshall stencil.

Once this was dry I stamped snowflakes using a Silver Encore ink pad.

Once everything was fully dry I cut the master board up and mounted them to pre-cut card blanks.

The Merry Misfits were stamped and coloured using alcohol ink pens.  I then cut them out and inked around the edges and added googly eyes.

I just love these images - they are so much fun!

I added ribbon to finish the card, along with a sentiment.

I really loved the detail on the background.  The silver sparkle from the snowflakes are perfect.  It created just enough of Christmas bling!

Thank you for joining me today.
