~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here is this months EXCLUSIVE stamp set, that you can get for ONLY $5 with EVERY $50 CTMH purchase in December 2019. 

I LOVE that we have an EXCLUSIVE stamp set available at a DISCOUNT each & every month!!

Take a look at the card I created with this month's stamp set. 

I found today's card design...in our Make It From Your Heart volume 3 how-to book, pattern #15  :) 

 

There are SO MANY fun images in this stamp set--- it was so hard to know which ones to choose to use on my card!

Pine & pine cones always "speak" winter to me.  I inked these up with a Memento ink pad and then colored & shaded with our FABULOUS new Tri-Blend alcohol markers!

THREE colors (yes....I did say three!!!) in one marker!! A dark, medium and light shade of that particular color.  These markers are fabulous --- even for me, a person who doesn't color very well! LOVE these (and you'll want to chat with your CTMH consultant about them ;) 
...............................................................
My papers come from our current "Cedar & Pine" papers. While there is a Christmas "feel" to these papers, I ADORE the designs that can be used for almost any occasion!  

 

Did you notice???
Take a look at the raised "snow" on the bottom part of the card.

Recently, CTMH shared a FABULOUS technique with us on how to create a snow look.  We used our Texture paste on the cardstock & added more paste to the edges of paper to create the look of snowdrifts. 

After the Texture Paste was dry (you can use your heat tool to speed this process) I used our Clear Shimmer Brush to color in the bottom part of the snow.  The photo does not capture this beautiful sparkle & shine!  
However, the Diamond Stickles I used on the TOP of the snow drift, photographed nicely.  I'd LOVE to be able to share this card with you in person!  

Next, the adorable sleigh. :) 
I again used the FABULOUS Tri-Blend Alcohol markers to shade in this sleigh. 
Colors used were....Dark Red, Pale Pink & Gold Brown 

I used our Clear Shimmer Brush, once again, and added sparkle to the "snow" under the sleigh as well!
