Happy Little Stampers May Christmas Challenge

It is time for a new Christmas challenge at Happy Little Stampers for the month of May. 

The challenge is anything goes with the optional twist of circles.  I pondered circles and was going through my new stamps - and there in front of me - was this beautiful stamp with circle ornaments. 

I first colored my Bristol smooth card stock with a light blue oxide ink.  I then stamped  the image and sentiment in Versamark ink and heat embossed with silver embossing powder.  I is really pretty in real life.  I colored the ornaments with distress inks.  I attempted to add shading to each ornament and they are three different shades of blue.  I did put a coat of Wink of Stella clear glitter over each ornament to add some sparkle.  If the snowflakes had little openings, they were also colored.

I created a mat with silver glitter washi tape.  It is so much cheaper to do this than buy silver paper.  I tied some silver cord between the image and sentiment.  I tied a bow and glued that on top of the cord.  I really like how my card turned out.

Here is a close up of the ornaments and the snowflakes.
