* Artsystamper: Baby It's Cold Outside

Hello! 
Happy Monday!

Today sees the start of the first challenge of 2020 at the Artsystamper Challenge Blog
Each challenge runs for two weeks and starts on the first and third Monday of the month. 
The theme for this challenge is Baby It's Cold Outside
I hope that you can find time to join in the fun!

The winner will receive the stamp set of their choice from TheArtsystamperShop. The Top 3 will also receive an image of Beverly's choice!
Beverly Cole’s selections offer stamps and sentiments in each set as well as pre-colored images for easy, last minute cards. Why not take a moment and check out what she has in store!

Here is what I made:



I printed the png digi stamp from Snow Birds, leaving enough room around it so that it could be die cut with a fancy frame die.
I used Copic markers to colour the bird on the branch, then masked off the frame so that I could use a cloud stencil and Pumice Stone Distress Oxide to create wintery storm clouds. I used Stickles Crystal glitter along the cloud outlines and whilst it was drying, I fussy cut several cones and some pine needles. I arranged the needles and made the cones three dimensional and formed two clusters and added some glitter. They were popped on to diagonally opposite corners of the image. 
My background paper is from the Wintery Papers pack. I used Vintage Photo Distress Ink around the edges and glitter on the pine needles.



Wintery Paper Pack                                              Snow Birds
  

That's all for today! 
I hope you will hop on over to Artsystamper Digitals Challenge Blog and enter! You will also see more inspiring designs from the Artsystamper Addicts Design Team ... so much fun.

I'll be back with another Artsystamper project in two weeks time.
