Creating on a Cold Day

Creating away on this cold, cold day.... Well, it's cold for South Carolina anyway. It was 31 degrees this morning when I got up. It's a perfect day to stamp!

 I used the Tulip Fields Bundle from the Jan. - June Mini catalog, and the Simply Marbleous DSP from the SALE-A-BRA-TION catalog. 
  1. The Foam Adhesive Strips pop up the frame made with the Stitched Rectangle Dies. The background of the windmill and the blades were cut from Crumb Cake, while the detailed die was cut from Early Espresso. 
  2. I used the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder on some retired Galvanized Metallic paper, then punched it out with a 1/8" Circle Punch. I did several of these to have on hand. 
  3. The row of tulip die was used to cut So Saffron, Fresh Freesia and Balmy Blue for the tulip field
  4. The greeting from the Art Gallery stamp set was stamped in Blushing Bride on Basic White cardstock.
Each time I make a windmill from the die in this bundle, I've used different colors of cardstock and they all look great! It's been fun to come up with various color combinations.
