Hello there! 
Today's card is another combination of klmdigitaldesign and Waffleflower postage die. 
I used the floral cupcake assortment digital and scaled them all to a bit less than 1.5 inches. They fit perfectly in the areas of the die. All were colored with Copic markers. 
sentiment stamps are from MFT stamps.

Seashore wishes

Hello again! Sorry it has been so long. In January I had a major computer update which threw EVERYTHING into a tailspin. We still aren't sure what it was all about but it appears to be resolved. 

Now to catch up.
But first something new!

I have loved playing with the Waffleflower Postage Collage die. This time I scaled a couple of the KLM digital design images to fit the collage areas. 
I began with the pre-colored gnome image and used Distress inks to create the rays around him. Then I used one of the cupcakes from Cupcake Assortment, colored it with Copic markers and added a sand dollar die cut. I sprinkled a tiny bit of Rock Candy Glitter onto the frosting.
I cut two small rectangles from some gel-pressed papers I made and used Gina K stamps on them (sentiment and footprint). I used 2 die cuts from my stash, added a tiny bit of shading with Distress inks, and a touch of Glitter brush. I cut 2 more layers of the images and stacked them behind the finished die cuts to give them just a touch of lift for dimension.

Well, we finally got a little snow! It actually looks like Vermont now. 

There is a lot to be said for having a stash of things to draw from. This background and the trees were tucked in my stash drawer. Add to that a pre-colored image from klmdigitaldesigns.com and you have a quick card, done in just a few minutes.

The background was from a day of learning the iron-off embossing technique and the trees were leftovers from a day of making Christmas package tags.  When I saw that this gnome was in the January release I knew he would make a perfect Thank you card. He had a little holly on his hat so I covered it with one of the snowflakes. Perfect for a card created during the first real snowfall of the season!

Nothing beats a pre-colored image for making a quick card!
Happy creating,
Susan
