The House That Stamps Built: Anything Goes


Anything goes at The House That Stamps Built!  I thought I would start building
 that stash of Christmas cards early this year.  It was such a help last year starting in
 September with challenges that I thought why not start sooner like
 some  of my blogland friends that make them all year.

I masked my hill before stamping Repeat Impressions: 2719-K, Lg Pine Tree and 
2710-D, Sm Pine Tree, did a bit of Distress Oxide sponging and water splattering
for the sky, banner cut my second image, assembled, added 3412-C, Gulls in Flight
and then my snow.  Would you believe the snow is just
Stardust Stickles spread thin over the white hill? 
See the close-up below of
how it sparkles.

Close up of the sparkle:


Now it's your turn, we enjoy seeing your creations in our weekly challenge, so get creating for a chance in the monthly drawing for a $25 Repeat Impressions gift certificate. If you use a Repeat Impression's stamp and you get an extra entry, but any stamp is fine. See my right sidebar for a discount code.
