Winter Wonderland

A Christmas card in non-tradional colours using my favourite stamping technique - colouring the stamp with Distress Markers instead of an ink pad.  As You Like It Challenge is asking whether spots or stripes are favourite; mine is spots - so  much easier to fit into any design, not like stripes which have a definite direction the paper has to go.


I used:  lilac polka dot paper from stash, Hero Arts Two Birds In A Tree cling stamp, Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Markers in Dusty Concord and Spun Sugar, white crinkle ribbon from Little Scrap Pieces, purple twine from The Twinery, foam tape to pop up image panel, MC sentiment sticker.

Challenges:
Hero Arts Holiday Challenge - A Few Of My Favourite Things ~ fave stamping technique + HA holiday stamp
Fashionable Stamping Challenge 60 - Anything But Ink Pad
Hobby Cutz Challenge 24 - Winter Wonderland
Lisa.B.Designs November Challenge - Contemporary Christmas
Twisted Tuesday Challenge 63 - Pop Dots and Polka Dots
As You Like It Challenge 15 - What's Your Favourite: Spots or Stripes
Just For Fun - Favourite Colour Purple

Thanks for looking, comments welcome.
