Ski Season is Open

Ski season is open, Homer knows that he has a lot of work ahead of him for the holiday and is ready to play . . just a bit! This guy is from the Cottage Cutz Christmas Stamp Collection. Love this guy, he has a cute personality, I really liked the green and purple that was used on the package, so I decided to use my Copic markers because of the intense color and used Leaf Green (Lime) and Amethyst. . but still needed that third color. . so I went with Duck Blue Copic with a little Blue Green (looks like Teal to me!). I added a bit of Stickle to add the glitz.

The Bo Bunny lime polka dot and a teal card stock seem to show him off well, I wanted to pop-dot a stream of snowflakes in the same colors so I cut the snowflakes from white and used the Copic markers to color the snowflakes. I variegated them primarily in purple, but added the lime and teal as accents. I added a few clear jewels and MM pewter snowflakes to add a metal embellishment.

As you can see the Cottage Cutz rubber stamp has nice thin, clear lines and a far amount of room to color. Giving you all kinds of opportunity to be creative.

This little tag was a quick-y that I did at midnight last Saturday. I wanted to use the Cardinal Stamp from Cottage Cutz and if I was to asleep to stay within the lines no one would notice. Well. . I didn't do to bad. I colored the Holly leaves and bird with Copic makers, than added a calendar circle stamp in the upper corner (DEC 25) with seasons greetings in the other two corners. Than added a pine branch in between. Than went crazy with two shades of green and red Tin Holtz ink. Last I added the Distress Crackle paint, Clear Rock Candy over the bird and holly. Last added a bit of Smooch Spritz in Gold. (I may have gotten more smooch on me than the tag!) I by that point I was down to only having one eye open.

Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your Family
