ABC Christmas Challenge: I is for Icy Inspiration

Hello stamping friends!!

Edited: This card made the Top 6 at Christmas Stampin' All Year Long!! 

Wow! Where is the time going?! If you haven't noticed, I have not posted for a few days. I missed the Stamp and Create Product Spotlight post on Monday and the High Hopes Challenge post on Tuesday! 

This past weekend was crazy busy and I didn't have any stamping time. I just barely have been able to keep up with orders (good for business, bad for my spare time)! :-)

But I am here today for the ABC Christmas Challenge!! 

Before I get to that, I want to quickly mention the Stamp and Create's Product Spotlight Sale this week is: The Bow Easy on sale 25% off

I used the Bow Easy to create the bow on my card today so you can see the awesome bows this tool creates. 

And the High Hopes Challenge this week is: Animals. I have a project I am working on and will post that as soon as I can finish it (sorry).

 

Ok, the new ABC Christmas Challenge is: I is for Icy Inspiration!!

We have 2 inspiration photos for you. You can choose to find inspiration for your card from either picture...

And here is my Icy card...

This is one of the adorable Pickles stamps from Wild Rose Studio. Isn't he adorable? This image is called Pickle with Gift.  The papers are Winter Park from Echo Park along with Red Silk Ribbon, The Bow Easy, Twine, Pearls, and sentiment from WRS Christmas Circle Greetings. 

The sketch is from Try Stamping on Tuesday.

The image was stamped in SU Basic Brown onto watercolor paper and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os...

I stamped on the inside of the card as well...
