Christmas and Halloween

The more I use this stamp set, the more I like it! This is a simple card using the Festival of Trees stamp set and the Hearts & Stars Decorative Masks. I simply adore these things! The two masks are only $2.95 and so easy to use. Place the mask where you want it, and sponge your choice of ink over top. Voila! Instant awesomeness!! I originally planned to use them for mixed media on a 12 x 12 sheet of watercolor paper, but have found many more uses for them!

Let It Snow... Let It Snow... Let It Snow...

Yeah, I know, snow is not very likely here in South Carolina. I've lived here 36 years and can count the number of white Christmases we've had on one hand. I have really struggled to come up with ways to use this stamp set that don't require coloring. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE to color with my Prisma Colored pencils or Copic markers, but most of my customers would rather not. So I color for myself and Ellene, then try to use non colored examples for the rest:)  My friend, Ellene, can color, paint and art like crazy! Her paintings are gorgeous!

The same set, Holiday Home, lends itself to Halloween and Christmas. I'm having such fun with this set, and I don't usually even do much for Halloween any more. No little kids any more so no urge to do anything Halloween. I used to have such fun with it when my son was little.
