It's Time Now to "THINK" of "CHRISTMAS'.....

Hey Everybody, Seems like the days are blowing bye, and one of the best holiday of all is creeping up on us soon, very soon! And now with so many different christmas stamp sets that are out, It get really hard on which to decide, specailly if you bought more than 1, that it alone is a headache!. So just take a moment and breathe because its alright and "Who" said you had to do "ONLY 1 "a season!
This will be the first "Christmas Card" out of several that I'll be doing, So I hope you stick around.
Messing around with my "New" Big Shot folder -" TEXTURED IMPRESSIONS" NORTHERN FURRY.I guess I wanted to highlight the impression itself - The Snow Flakes. And this is what I can up with. And to tell you the truth, I'm really not happy with the out come of the card! I think its o.k. not to like your own stuff, cause I really believe that leaves room for a diiferent approach next time. And also with this card it became an "ADD" to it card. Every time I would get done with a step, it just needed something else.I really didn't know what but it did need more...

Riding Hood Red #111348

Rose Red #102544

Bravo Burgundy # 105723

Whisper White #100730

Garden Green # 102584

Christmas Postcard Stamp #121428

Stazon Jet Balck #101406(refill #102566)

Here is some of the materials I used. Forgot to put the GARDEN GREEN CARDSTOCK in picture:)

 I placed cardstock in folder, and put it thru the Big Shot. Roll to the back, and the back to the front (toward you) this will impress the pattern better.

Even looking like this, they came out looking nice.. But I really wasn't happy with the looks, I decided to take a step-up and lightly use stazon WHITE over the 3-D image.

So now its done and it looks funny and I feel like I just wasted my TIME and PAPER. Let's cover most of the card and leave alittle of the snowflakes.

Will use colored pencils on image. I have stamp'in Up colored pencils and they have retired the set. the other colored pencils I use all of the time - CRAYOLA. The best time to buy these colored pencils are when "Going Back to School" sales starts...

Used my dauber to go around the edges Used Garden Green . Next Designer Paper and Cardstock.

O.K -  Next: The green cardstock - Garden Green......

Used Whisper White And Garden Green to layer and frame out my card cover.

Added foam tape to give height image up on card.

Now to Color image.

Used Stamp in up color pencils (retired).

And the finally step was I added Dazzling Diamonds Glitter #102023 to the belles.

I also used tissue to smear the stazon. I guess the project over all turn out looking good, but like I said this was one of those cards that no matter what I did , I just wasn't satified no matter how I looked at it. Did you EVER have a card that was like this one. Would love to hear your story.....

Until next time - Happy Stamp' In !
