Snow, Sleet, Rain ...

...and incredibly GORGEOUS holiday cards are the result of the wonderfully inspiring "HO HO H20" prompt, suggested by our lovely guest star, linda of snail's space! we couldn't resist another go at this fun idea!

Linda says, "I love colouring cute images that make me smile; this was coloured with distress inks and the jingle bells were coloured with distress stain and shaped with a stylus."


Stephanie says, "For this week's card, I started by sanding Cord'dinations dotted cardstock and then sprayed it with  several pumps of Whipped Cream Memories Mist, which reminded me of the splatter of snow when a snowball hits its target.  So next, I added glittery City Sidewalks chipboard snowflakes and a Winter SRM sentiment to finish the design, using this week's Retro Sketch." 


Lauren's Other Card

Lauren says, "we've told you before that stephanie and i never compare notes, and even though she's often done her card before i start mine, i tend to not go and look at it, to keep from being 'influenced' by her awesome ideas... and yet... sometimes things like this happen: two snowy cerise cards based on this week's retro sketch! loooooooooove that!!! :) mine uses a prima 'paintable' 6x6 paper as its base, which i've colored with water-soluble wax crayons before adding martha stewart sparkly snowflake stickers and then finally going crazy with my sewing machine."

  2. Thanks for having the chance to play & have fun, and big thanks to Miss Linda for thinking of a cute theme, wherein I had the stamps & could join in! I'll try to get back again if my supplies fit the bill of fare. Enjoyed looking at all the cards submitted to. Some good inspiration...
