These Kitchensink Stamps are the most fun stamps. This is a fast and easy card unless a day like today happens. It's "drop the ink pad again" day. So after about four attempts, the 5th one came out ok except for the mysterious green smudge in the sky. I then added a star and since that didn't cover all the green I used a glass dip pen and copic opaque white to try and cover it. The sky is airbrushed. The idea came from kitchensinkstamps website gallery. I moved my trees around and used my own recipe. The greeting was changed and I added iridescent ice on the edges. My tree recipe is Bundled Sage distress, Cottage Ivy Memento, Northern Pine Memento and Versafine Imperial purple.

Absolutely beautiful! Makes me cold just to look at it! I don't know whether to look for my snow boots or start wrapping Xmas presents! You have certainly done a fantastic job on this!

This is just exquisite! Someday I'm gonna unloose the purse strings and get some of those Kitchen Sink stamps. They have a bell stamp that's just gorgeous. TFS

Just as I was opening your gallery I noticed how close this date is to the solstice...and saw this wonderfully snowy card! Quite a difference from the beautiful weather that we are now finally having. Your mysterious smudge adventure made me giggle, but you handled it beautifully - it is invisible to me. Your arrangement of the trees and snow are very nicely done, TFS!

How gorgeous are your trees and mounds of snow with a glint of sparkle across them!!! I LOVE the mix of colors for your trees... and all I see is a beautiful star in your sky. Love this!!!
