Winter Birthday...

Hello friends,

Hope today is kind to you all!

The 
Whimsy Stamps 
crafty goodies we've seen this month have been beautiful, my heart has been completely stolen!

By a country mile the brilliant background builder die

Mountain Majesty Die Set
is one of my favourite Whimsy Die set EVER! - just look at the smoke coming out of the chimney!

Here I have put it together with a beautiful clear stamp set from last year

Bundled Up Clear Stamp Set
I think this would make a perfect winter birthday card - or even a card to send 'just because' you're thinking of a friend!

I created the background with Distress Oxides in Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers and Chipped Sapphire and flicked Perfect Pearls and water over it to make it sparkly!

To make the backdrop I die cut white card with the 

Mountain Majesty Die Set

and the 

Wavy Edgers Die Set

I blended a little blue ink over the die cuts and then layered them onto the inky background to create the wintery scene.  I die cut the whole thing with a

Notched Square Die

I stamped a sentiment from the 

Bundled Up set, 

die cut it and added it to the design with twine as shown.

Next I stamped the 

Bundled Up 

images and coloured them with Copics

Skin E04, E11, E00, E000

Hair  E47, E44

Outfit B39, B37, B24, B34, YR04, YR61, YR00

Bunny W3, W2, W1

I fussy cut them and added them to the design as shown.

Finally I added some 

Star Dust Stickles

and some 

Start Sky Spakletz

to the scene to create some frosty shimmer!
