alcohol posies and twigs
I made two more cards with my Whipper Snapper stamps. The first one is with Anna Wight’s Twigs. I love this snowy face! He has been sitting on my desk for months and I finally made a card with him! I thought the patterned paper was perfect for Mr. Twigs, so I drew my colors from there. I finished him just in time- we are getting more snow tonight!

The second card was made with Anna’s Posies For You set and alcohol inks. I also used the Swiss Dots embossing folder again. 
Since I had a whole sheet of glossy white and the alcohol inks out, I decided to make more than one of this card. You can see in the thumbnail picture that I started by stamping the roses several times on the glossy white cardstock. Then I applied drops of 3 different colors of ink & the solution onto the felt applicator. The whole sheet was randomly covered with ink and the roses were highlighted with markers.
After the ink from the markers dried well, the roses were cut out with the Coluzzle oval shape. Then I glued them to the gray cardstock and cut them out with scallop scissors. Dots were applied with a white gel pen and it was attached over the ribbon with pop dots. Extra flowers were punched from the left-over cardstock and Stickles was added to the centers.

Great idea to make multiples AND to use the extra for punches!
You poor thing….more snow! It was 70 here today. On the bright side that twiggy card is toooo cute & sooooo creative!
I love that snowy face too! And yes, the patterned paper is perfect with it! And darn it, I want that dot folder!!! Every time I go to buy one, it’s sold out!
Gorgeous cards! Like Michele, I am trying to hunt down that embossing folder!
Beautiful.
Love those cards! I am in desperate need to stamp and restock my stash so your second card really appeals to me =) The Swiss Dot CB folder is my fav too!
oh…I love, love, love that snowman, he is so cute. love your turned down corner with the button too.
Twigs is adorable, Diane — that paper was made just for him! Love your alcohol background!
Both cards are gorgeous!!! I love the twiggy snowman — that DP and that twig were made for each other. And I love your Swiss Dots/alcohol ink card — fresh and pretty!!! Can’t ever go wrong with those Swiss Dots!!!
I love these. I especially love the Swiss-dots card. Thank you for showing how you did that. I’ve never made the polished stone after stamping. I love the extra flowers you punched out to add to the card. It’s just perfect.
