Daily Special - Christmas in September

Yo! Everyone!! Check out this stamp. It's pretty funky. I had bought it on Ebay long, long ago and I initially thought wow, what a weird group of snowmen. . .especially, the first one. . .her hair looks rather "fried". . .she needs to see her hairdresser.

It's a stamp from some obscure company. I initially thought to myself . . ."why did I buy this stamp?" but it's grown on me. . .I actually think the snowmen are cute now and really glad I bought the stamp.

I colored the images using the Prismacolor markers then applied SU Crystal Effects. Do anybody still use dimensional glazes on their cards like Crystal Effects? I love the stuff. I like how it makes the images 3D looking and shiny. It's also a good way to cover ugly coloring. Haha! If your coloring turned out a little messy, just add a dimensional glaze over it and it actually looks okay after you apply it. To create the 3D snow, I used Liquid Applique and puffed it up using a heating tool. Before heating it, I added glitter to it while it was still wet. It's amazing that the little things you do to a card can add "excitement" to what would have been otherwise a drab looking card.
