Deck the Halls with Inky Paws Blog Hop!



Well hello, friends!   Can you believe it is December!   So much to do to get ready for the holidays - I've been making Christmas cards left & right!    Today I'm celebrating the holiday season with Newton's Nook Designs' Deck the Halls with Inky Paws Blog Hop!    And surprise!  There's a fantastic new stamp set available today called Whispering Pines.   I used it to create my card!
Let it Snow | #handmadecard | Newton's Nook Designs | Kimpletekreativity.blogspot.com
I masked the snow hill and created the night sky with Distress Inks.   I stamped the trees with Versafine Black ink twice using my Misti tool.   I love that this stamp set can be used the way i used it here - in a more solid application, or it can be used to create a much softer, watercolor feel!  And how about the adorable dog and cat!   Oh my, they are my favorite!   I placed them together, looking off at the trees with the snow falling all around them.   I used a Tsukineko Irresistible Pico Embellisher for the snow, and added red, green & clear rhinestones to a single tree. The perfect finishing touch for this card was a snowflake embossed front panel.

I hope you have fun hopping around and checking out all the inky inspiration!   There are fabulous guests hopping along with the NND team - make sure you check out all of the stops along the hop!

    Thanks for the talented winter themed card. The dog and cat silhouettes are fantastic and the accents you used on the whole card from lighted tree, to pico embellisher and dots on the snow is inspired. Thanks for sharing your artistic talents.
