STAMPtember

Here we go with another Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge.

 We are celebrating our annual huge STAMPTEMBER event.

This week we showcase some of the new products by Simon Says Stamp!

And the theme is just STAMP IT ON.

Remember you can become a lucky winner of $50

and spend it in the Simon Says Stamp Store!

I have made my second Xmas card this year.

Since the STAMPtember release has a lot of Xmas products, 

I decided to use them and warm my hands before the season.

Those who know me will not be surprised by the non traditional colors 

I use almost always on my Xmas cards. 

I started with the background using the new 

SSS STAMPtember Plank Background stamp.

I stamped it with embossing ink, covered with white embossing powder 

and heated the pattern with my heat tool. Then I just played with several 

shades of blue to get my background done. 

Then I took my SSS STAMPtember Festive Trees and did exactly the same: embossed in white and colored with several shades of green. 

Finally I fussy cut them.

I also stamped, embossed and fussy cut the star taken from 

SSS STAMPtember Ornate Ornaments. 

For my frame I used Sizzix Shape Strips and cut the stars all around.

I smeared the Old Silver Wax on the khaki paper to get some shine.

Finally I composed all the elements, added paper dolls colored with Distress Fosilized Amber Marker and some silver tiny snowflakes (Thanks, Sandra!)
