Christmas stamp!

Here is the last project I made for the October stamp releases at CDS.
You can see ALL the final stamp releases for October over at Lori's blog.

I used one of the Stamps of the Month that you can choose to get for free for making a qualified purchase, Christmas Deer.
Just lovely!  I bet this one would look fabulous just embossed in silver or gold on color cardstock.

Christmas Deer SOM
I wanted  to color this one simple and put pearls in the snowflakes on the deers back, and when I got my new paper pad, I LOVED the colors in this paper and felt it was a perfect fit for this deer.
I got to use one of the big decorative brads from SU that I got this summer too, makes it so pretty!

October Product Parade - NEW STAMPS

Good morning!
Today starts the new stamp release at CDS, and I have 3 stamp sets that I created with to hopefully give some inspiration.


Christmas Inchy stamps
I made this hanging ornament that can double as a bracelet. I used polyshrink, the cuttlebug set of 4 mini square scallop dies, beads and some heavy duty but lightweight beading string. I stamped on polyshrink, punched holes in 2 of the corners, colored with regular markers and then shrunk them with the heat gun. Then assembled together with the beading string and put seed beads in between each section.  I coated each square with crystal effects on the top, and some clear stickles on the back. I did one side and then waited a couple hours and then did the other sides.

Little Bethlehem
I knew I wanted to make a "night" card with all dark blues with this, when I first saw it.  I like that it is a nice big image, so that it can fill almost the whole card.  I watercolored with Tombows and a waterbrush on watercolor paper.
