Inspired Stamps DT Thursday

Hello Everyone, back with another DT Thursday Post at Inspired Stamps.  In case you didn't already know Inspired Stamps have 3 designated days for posts:  Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday.  We have very talented ladies sharing their creations every week so don't forget to check them out and share a little love while you are at it, I am sure they would love to hear from you. I know I do.
 Today we are sharing winter projects.  I decided to use Fir Trees and Be Still Silhouettes, Inspired Stamps.
I stamped two sizes of fir trees with two colors of ink for depth and inked the sky and below the trees.  I added some white gel pen for snow on trees and some glitter pen for added sparkle (you can't see it here but it really looks great in person). I matted the image on tan cardstock and tied a brown ribbon and then mounted to a blue card base.  I try to remember when I am looking at something beautiful, like the snow in the trees glistening in the sunlight that these are all God's creations and He wants us to slow down and enjoy them, take them in.  This is what I wanted this card to represent, don't get going so fast or caught up with the everyday to forget where it all comes from, our loving creator.
Thank you for stopping by today and be sure to check out the Inspired Stamps store for these and other wonderful sets.  Don't forget to check out all the beautiful creations at the Inspired Stamps Blog.  Have a great day.

Hydrangea card

I love a good deal, especially if it something I know I will use.  This hydrangea stamp was such a deal, I had gone into Michael's for something else, but I always walk through the papercrafting isles to see what might be new or on sale and this stamp, by Hero Arts was the deal of the day (or week), I now cannot remember.  I had my eye on this stamp for a while and had seen here and there, looking through magazines and on blogs.  I think I can remember seeing it used in much the same way I used it.  Stamping it on Kraft cardstock in Tuxedo black and highlighting the image with a white gel pen.  I inked the edges of the panel and used foam tape to add dimension.  I love how it turned out.  It is so stunning and I think it is a very versatile design.  I could have added any sentiment, but this one is for a friend who is currently away from home and I just wanted to give a bit of encouragement.
