Time for a me day I think

 

 I am taking some time out today to be able to do some crafting. It has snowed a little bit here again but not settled and the rain that followed it has insured that there is no white left to be seen. 

I am still loving these snow men from the very talented Amy Young of Sweet November Stamps though. They really do bring a smile to my face :)

I have teamed this one from the Drop it like it's cold stamp set with a die called It's Your Day from Time for tea designs. I also used one of the new Time for Tea stencils in the back ground to add a few stars to distress my inking. The stencil is called Falling Stars and I used Squeezed Lemonade distress ink along with a beautiful blender brush to colour up the white paper. 

As normal for me I have finished the card by adding some sparkle and texture with some Nuvo drops. And I added the little raccoon on to the card with an action wobble just to give an extra fun element to it :D

Drop it like it's cold

 

 I am so excited to announce this new release from the amazing Sweet November. Amy Young is so clever with her art and I feel very lucky to be the only other store to stock her stamps. This release is another 2 stamps sets that have a lot of fun snow people dancing and some little critter friends with them. There is also a digi sentiment set to go with them and while stocks last if you buy both stamp sets from the Crafty Purple Frog store I will send you the sentiment set for free!

This release could not have been better timed for me as yesterday we had a load of snow here and I made my own snowman in one of the fields :D

 

I am sure you aren't here for a weather update though so here is my first card that I have to show you for these sets. I used the Drop it like it's cold stamp set and one of the digi sentiments. Of course the snowman had to have an action wobble so he can actually twerk. 

 

I coloured him with Spectrum noir tri-blends and inked up the ground with some Distress ink. For the background I used one of the new Time For Tea Designs stencils called Nordic Star with some more Distress ink and inked through the stencil with the Time For Tea Designs beautiful blender brushes. To finish it off I have added some sparkle with double sided tape and then poured some Wow! Hammerhead shark earth glitter on to the tape. This glitter is brilliant as it is environmentally friendly! It is made from a plant rather than plastic.
