From The Heart Stamps - Stamp of the Month
http://fromtheheartstamps.com/community/2016/02/01/free-stamp-of-the-month-february-2016/


I have used two papers from a silver themed Christmas paper pad by Craft Smith.  The image is from From The Heart Stamps and is coloured with copic markers and then glittered with Stickles - Diamond.  I die-cut a heart using some glitter cardstock from American Crafts and a die from Mariannes.  I used the same glitter cardstock to mat the image.

Here  is the sketch and twist that I followed:

Sparkly Christmas

I kept this image fairly minimal with the colours so the snow can really sparkle.

Tropical Girl

A bit of a tropical feel to this card - partly inspired by the temperatures we are currently experiencing.  Even yesterday when it was overcast all day, it was really humid and muggy.
