*******Karen's Creative Mess*******: 2014

Welcome to our Stamp TV Friday Funday Holiday Hop!! You should have come here from Tricia's blog. But if you're just joining us, be sure to jump to Tricia's blog to get started! For today's hop, Tricia challenged each of us to come up with a project or two using just a few of the supplies from the Winter Cheer Stamp TV kit. Here's what we were allowed to use…

This was a fun Challenge from Tricia. I made two cards.

It was limited supplies and wanted to add color around my mittens. I used my Spectrum Noir Markers to color the white paper that the mittens were stamped on so it wound match the PP - patterned paper.

My lighting was off, I used White Heavy Base Card Stock for my base. It kinda looks Ivory at the top of the card. But it is just White.

I also used Spectrum Noir Markers to color my

snow persons hat, scarf & star!

*******

On this second on I used Gina K Designs Christmas Pine Ink

& White embossing powder.

Would you like to win a limited supply kit of your own? Just hop from blog to blog and gather the parts of some exciting information. Then unscramble them and send the completed phrase to Tricia at thestampersstitches@gmail.com. Be sure to leave a comment, too!!!! We'll draw a winner on Monday so you can have your goodies before Christmas. : )

Here's my part of the secret phrase… STAMP TV

dry embossed a piece of velum & added the Black & White Twine

from Gina K Designs. Using the dies to create a
