Hey there, stamping friends! It's Sunday and that means it's time for a new Paper Players challenge with Claire as our hostess! She's got a very timely CLEAN and SIMPLE challenge for us this week, and I mean timely, because we just finally got some snow! It's been over 700 days since we've had any! So here we go:
Just a few days ago, I snagged this adorable Colorado Craft set; I've been wanting it for a while and it was on sale, so it was serendipity! Here we go:
I stamped my image on a single piece of Thick Basic White cardstock so I could do some watercoloring; I used Versafine Black for my ink and Crumb Cake, Pool Party and Pumpkin Pie inks to color my little friends:
I found a wee little snowflake stamp in some of my Paper Pumpkin stamps and lightly stamped it around them....in hindsight, I could have added some glitter...I may do that yet! I stamped a sentiment as well, but I really wanted it to be a Christmas card, so I added this on the inside:
Since most of the US has been under super-duper cold weather, I hope you'll find some chilly inspiration and stamp something with us this week! Just remember to keep it clean and simple: minimal layers and embellishments! Check out what the other designers did over at the Paper Players blog!
I actually did have some winter fun on Friday....John and I went sledding down our front yard hill! I was wishing Cassidy could have been with us, hopefully she did some sledding at her own house! It was PERFECT sledding weather...it wasn't windy, the snow was light and fluffy, it was wonderful! At my age, I only went down a few times, but it was a blast! Thanks for popping in today! Enjoy it and be blessed!

ReplyDeleteOh, LeAnne! It just doesn't get any cuter than this. I can see why you wanted this set. It's absolutely perfect for clean and simple cards. And the sentiment is as sweet as can be! Oh my gosh...I have not been sledding in decades. What fun!
ReplyDeletesuch a sweet card LeAnne!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable little set LeAnne, well worth snagging and so perfect for CAS/one layer cards. I am disappointed not to see any sledding photos though - sounds like a lot of fun!! Enjoy the snow; it has warmed up here this week compared to last, so no sign of the white stuff.
ReplyDeleteLeAnne, this is one of the cutest stamps I've ever seen! how absolutely adorable is that image? Using it on a clean and simple card allows us to enjoy these guys without distraction.
ReplyDeletejust love it!
