We are showcasing the newest Stamp of the Week by Unity Stamp Co, a super deal at just $5.79/week you get a great new stamp in your mailbox every week!
I was so happy to see the little package in my mailbox and ripped it open ASAP to see what the newest stamp was and what a beauty it is! It is called Winter Forest and was created by the talented Joslyn Nielson (I just love her stamp designs).
I didn't get a chance to get crafty with it as soon as I would've liked and then one of my little ones came down with a nasty cough that turned out to be croup so I've had my hands full disinfecting the house and trying to keep everyone happy and healthy. I was afraid that I wouldn't get anything made for the hop! Thankfully I was able to get a little time right before the post was supposed to go live to play and here is what I came up with.
I embossed the image on kraft paper with black embossing powder, colored it in with some sparkly, pearlescent watercolors from US Art Quest, cut it out and popped it up on another kraft panel where I also black embossed the winter wishes sentiment. It looked kinda plain so I tried to doodle around the edge (does anyone else doodle with a pencil first or is that just an OCD tendency of mine?), and I mounted it onto a dark blue cardstock that reminded me of a night sky.
Next up on the hop is the talented Angela, you can see what she created here at angelascraftyspot.BlogSpot.com.
Thanks for hopping with us today! One lucky commenter in the hop will win a week of Stamp of the Week, how awesome is that!?!
I also have a personal giveaway going on right now. You can check out this post here, Happy Birthday, for details!
Happy crafting,
Crystal

Very cool. I like the image on craft paper.
So pretty! Love the CAS Style....love the dimension.
I'm such a big fan of Kraft cardstock and I don't use it enough...but what you did is absolutely ADORABLE!!! Sometimes doing work in a jiffy is what I do best. And as far as doodling?......I just LOVE THAT DOODLING around your card. I do use pencil first for a lot of things...then erase it lightly and go back over it in pen...worried to DEATH that I will still screw up LOL. Wonderful card Crystal.
I love how you popped up the image. It adds just the right amount of depth. Great card. (And I hope your little one feels better soon!)
Love it! Boy do I want this stamp.....
Crystal, this little tree scene is perfect with the kraft.
Very cute. I like your doodling and the use of kraft.
Really cute, the way you used really makes the image pop!
Pretty card! I hope your little one is feeling better!
