Jo and her elf Gundi want to see animals playing in the snow. I flipped through the Christmas stamps and found this never-used Simon Says Stamp set from Stamptember 2017. Decided to give it some love and thought that animals playing musical instruments would be a different take on "playing in the snow" - lol.
Stamped/die cut/colored the three critters. Die cut some snow and a lamp post. Backed the open part of the lamp with a scrap of orangey yellow paper (left out the candle which I used on a previous card). The lamp post is too long for a horizontal A2 card so I trimmed off the excess and covered the bottom with a snow bank.
Stamped and white embosed the sentiment on a pastel blue A2 card. Blended Stormy Sky Distress Ink over the top half of the card and added some Black Soot to the edges. Assembled the elements onto the card & added some puffy musical note stickers - done!
The lamp post set is one I bought locally through the Hero Arts 2024 Holiday Shopbox program. New holiday isn't released at Hero yet but I shared a link to Simon Says Stamp where Shopbox items are now available online. The full release will be online at Hero Arts on August 22nd - can't wait!!
Since my stamp set got first play here, I'll add my card to Darnell's August NBUS Challenge #65 & also to Merry Little Christmas Challenge #57 where anything goes for Christmas.
Thanks for stopping & have a crafty day!!
