December Stamping Symphony Blog Hop

I can't believe it is ten days until Christmas. Where has the time gone? I am so not ready. So much running around, menu planning, baking left to do. Maybe, my problem is that I get lost in my studio playing LOL. So this months blog hop is themed Winter or New Years celebration. I thought I would get back to sponging, since it has been a while that I have done that.

I couldn't get the lighting right in the picture, so it doesn't do it justice. It really is quite pretty in person.  Using a sticky note I set the horizon and sponged the sky first with balmy blue and then with night of navy.  I then took sticky notes and made random cuts to use as hills.  I placed them and sponged lightly with balmy blue. Then using the trees from Winter woods  (large one) and from Rooted in Nature I stamped the trees in Shaded Spruce.  For the three large trees in the front of the card, I also stamped in versamark, added white embossing powder and then scrapped off most of the embossing powder so it was like a sprinkle of snow. This was heat embossed. Then with the shimmer white paint, I painted some of the snow banks and the some snow on the trees in the background.  Finally, with some shimmer paint and alcohol in a spritzer, I added some bling!  The Sentiment is from the Spirited Snowman set. The inside, I simply stamped the large tree image and just left without a sentiment, so there is lots of room to write a note to catch up with a friend. For a detailed supply list, see below.

I also (because I was procrastinating from getting ready for Christmas LOL) decided to try to do a New Years card too. Very simple, no stamping, just die cuts.  See below for a supply list.

Well, as this may be my last post before the New Year (hopefully not, but with how crazy my day job is right now, it may be a reality), I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas (or Happy Holidays) and may 2019 be filled with health, happiness, friends and family.
