Sometimes, I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast

"Hello Winter" Raven Tree Silhouette card by Val

Happy January Creative Friends
  The Santa Ana winds are taking a break and giving Southern California much needed time to recover.  Headway has been made in fighting our many wildfires while new ones popped up over the weekend even while we had rain which, in my opinion, points at people starting these fires whether by accident or on purpose!  Please consider donating to the American Red Cross and the Humane Society of the US, particularly Pasadena Humane which is a good verified place to donate to help all the poor animals.
 
February News
February is here already and it's going to be epic with a brand new digi stamp release that you will fall head over heels in love with and our February CREATivities include a new Challenge and our annual Gothic Valentine mini Hop too!
Do come and get crafty with us!

I also announced the winner of our 10th annual Edgar Allan Poe CREATivities here!
Do pop on over and see our makes starting on Day 1 if you love Poe and missed all the fun!

"Hello Winter"
Raven Tree Silhouette
by Val 
 
You all enjoyed seeing my new Raven Tree Sihouettes in action during our 10th annual Edgar Allan Poe CREATivities and now LeighSBDesigner Val is here today with a beautiful Winter themed card showing just how versatile the Raven Tree Silhouette digi stamp really is.
 
 
The Raven Tree Silhouette digi stamp is a wonderful winter tree scene with four Ravens perched on the bare branches that extend out from both sides of the trunk.  Whether you're a fan of Poe, Ravens and Winter scenery you can do so much with this wonderful design from making cards to home decor!
 
 
 
To make her beautiful and sparkly Winter scene panel Val created her frosty background with Broken China and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide inks on white cardstock and printed out the Raven Tree Silhouette digi stamp.  She then rubber stamped the "Hello Winter" sentiment directly to the panel with black Versafine ink.  Next she applied a full sheet of double sided adhesive to the whole panel and covered it with Distress Clear Rocky Candy Glitter for lots of pretty winter sparkle.  To complete her beautiful card she adhered the scene panel to a side fold card made from heavy weight white cardstock.  The all-over-glitter technique is an oldie but a goodie and creates such a pretty frosty effect.

💙 💙 💙
 
See the New Releases!

 
Thanks for stopping by to see today's fabulous inspiration!
