Joys of the Season Sneak Peek

Hello~ I have some very exciting news to share with you today!  My good friend, Jennifer, asked me if I would join her DT full-time!  I feel so honored to be joining her amazing team!  If you haven't seen her stamps over at Stamps and Smiles you have to go and check them out!  Her stamps are ADORABLE!  With that said I would like to welcome you to the very first Digi Release at Stamps and Smiles!  And let me tell you that you won't want to miss a day this week with all of the great sneak peeks....all these sets are SUPER CUTE!  All week over at the Stamps and Smiles blog we have some fun cooked up for you, so make sure you head over to see the amazing DT samples with the newest stamp sets, and get ready to win some freebies yourself!

Stamps and Smiles
Digi Release - Day 1

Today I am sharing with you a card I created with the Joys of the Season set!  Our preview set today can be downloaded for FREE at the Stamps and Smiles store. Available now - December 10th.  I think this little girl feeding the birds is so cute!  I colored her with my Copics.

 Here is a close up of this cutie pie!  Highlights were added with my white gel pen.  I added Diamond Glaze to her eyes for some shine, and gelly powder to her hat pom poms for a glittery but yet fuzzy look.  Polar white flower soft was added to look like this little girl was standing in snow.  I also used my new ABS3 for the very first time with my new air compressor!  Gosh do I love the soft look you can get by airbrushing!!!  I used my B00 and very lightly went around the image for a very pale blue look.

For the snowflake I used my Spellbinders Create a Flake 1 dies, and layered them all together.  Added twinklets to the very top snowflake, and diamond stickles to the bottom snowflake for extra bling.

Finally is the wonderful sentiment that comes with this set.

I hope you have enjoyed our first day of previews!  Make sure you head over to the Stamps and Smiles blog to check out what the other girls have made!
