A Holiday Blog Hop!!!!

Clear Artistic Stamps is having a blog hop that starts Today and  it's all about holday ornaments. If you just started here, go back to Belinda's Blog to start the hop. She will link you back here.

I did my little snowman from Sparkles Let It Snow Stamp Set.

I started with a clear acrylic oval. The snowman was stamped with StazOn. Next I colored the snowman with Copic Markers right on the front of the ornament.  On the back, I use a small white pom pom to ink in the white of the snowman with White StazOn ink. It was dried with my heat gun.

The back was then sprayed with Scrapper's Spray Adhesive and sprinkled with glitter. I took the first photo for you to see the details. The second was to show you how it is actually very clear even with the glitter.

The blog hop will "run" for one week exactly, a prize drawn on Wednesday the 9th and announced at the Cottage Studio!

 Players: Leave comments on as many designer's blogs as you wish, one comment per blog will be entered into the grand prize drawing!


Now that you have seen my ornament, move on to Etha's Blog to see what she's made!

The winner will be getting a package of 10 shimmer paints and 9 sets of stamps!

Stop in Here Tuesday!

This prize could be yours! Stop by here tomorrow for all the details!

Snowman Card

Cute Image From Squigglefly. Colored with Copics.

Saturday Spotlight: Ornaments

It's Monday but this is for the Saturday Spotlight. The theme is Ornaments. I decided to go retro with pink and lime green. I stamped a few branches on the patterned paper. The stamp I used is from Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps called a Retro Tree Ornament. I added white microbeads from Pennywise Arts into a plastic button cover to make it a shaker snowglobe.

Digital Images

I got this adorable girl and snowman from a company called Squigglefly. It's a digital image I bought for very little compared to a regular rubber stamp. The good thing about digital images is that I can size it however I want and print as many as I want.

For this image, I printed it at about 4 inches on paper designed for Copic markers. (Gina K Designs) I heat set the computer ink and colored away!
