New goodies & MIM selective inking in a sea of blue

I picked up my December release goodies at the post office after work, so I had to play with them quick before bed (hence the patterned paper)!

I used selective inking for the sentiments (didn't ink up the period at the end) as in one of the Make it mondays challenges.  I angled the stamp on the block and then smooshed it a bit when making the impression, so it's not perfect. 

I used the In the meadow snow drift die for the sentiment, and after finding this amazing button I had to use it.  I snipped some saddle stitch ribbon to make leaves.

Supplies; Stamps - Mat stack collection 1 (sentiment), Paper - Aqua mist, Hawaiian shores, Memory box PP Jubilee, white, Other - In the meadow die, Filigree border die, Pure poppy button, Spring moss saddle stitch ribbon.

this year's kiddie card

This year's Christmas card

I knew I wanted to use In the Meadow, and white shimmer cardstock. And ofcourse it had to be flat/maileable. 

The drift was created by using a glue pen overtop of a diecut and then glitter.  At first I tried a few different colour combos -
blue and pink didn't seem right

traditional red and green was off too -

So I went with neutrals -

The tree was stamped in Shabby shutters, the child in sled in Crumb cake.   The white snowflakes show up when you move the card.

Supplies; stamps - In the Meadow, paper - white shimmer, other - glitter, glue pen.
