QKR Stampede - Christmas in July Blog Hop

Hi there, and welcome to the QKR Stampede Christmas in July Blog hop! If you just arrived here from the QKR Stampede Blog, then you are on the right track! If not, be sure to head back there first to get all the details on how you can WIN!!!! There are 3 chances to win this month, so make sure you go back and read all the details. Well now onto my cards I made for this hop. I decided to use the Snowman Christmas Tree image for my cards today. I wanted to try to make 2 different cards using the same image, and here is what I did. As you can see, the PP is all the same (from SEI), but the way I used the image is slightly different. For the first card, I just stamped him off with black ink and added a little bit of color using markers. I also added some stickles to the star, ornaments, and buttons. For the second card, I stamped the image with Versamark onto the green PP. Then I embossed with sparkly white embossing powder. I was going for a different type of look with this one, and very simple. I did add some stickles to this one too. Last, I added the sentiments to each of them. It is one of the 4 holiday sentiments that come in the Deck the Halls stamp set. All 4 sentiments are holiday/Christmas, but in different fonts and sizes. I like the diversity of that set. Well that is all from me. I will merrily send you off to your next stop along this hop which is....
