Coffee card January 2023 swap!

Happy New Year! A little late for the greeting but it's my first post in 2023! 

I used my newly purchased stamp sets, both from Gina K Designs! Most of you know that I hate cold weather, and I tend to make cards which doesn't have "winter" theme much...But I really liked these sets, and after coloring, I like them even more! 😍

I did some ink blending for background scene. I splattered white watercolor paint to make a snowy scene in the end. For the front, it's hard to tell but I found this shiny white paper in my stash, to die cut the snow drifts, using Honey Bee Stamps die. I stamped snowmen and mug cup all in black first, but after placing them on the scene, I didn't like it, and changed the color to light grey to stamp snowmen and brown to stamp mug cups, and I love how they turned out, after coloring with Copics. I decided to make the winter scene card because the recipient lives in Florida. We don't see this scenery in our daily lives.😄

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! Hope you are having a relaxing long weekend! In some areas, I watched on the news about horrible weather... Stay safe!  Love, Eve  

Penny Black Sat.challenge wk126

ok, another Difficult one for me..."LET IT SNOW" challenge...but i found a very old Penny Black stamp in my collection - snowmen! :-) It is a long stamp, and i barely fit it in the regular size CS. I sometimes use partially if the stamp is long or big but this one, it was rather impossible to trim the stamped image cuz all snowmen's hands were stretched out to the next snowman! lol! I colored the snowmen with Le Plume markers, added fun flocks & glitter here and there. I used cuttlebug snowflakes embossing folder, petit oval nesties (added with 3D dots for the sentiment), and i WROTE "let it snow", using sakura quick glue pen, poured glitters on the letterings. ...still Denying this sentiment...lol...
