Papertrey Ink November Release Countdown

Hello everyone! I'm thrilled to be joining Papertrey Ink this month to help showcase all the new goodies from the November Release. This month's release includes mostly winter themed products with some holiday and New Years mixed in. 

My card today features images from The Bigs Winter Sentiments Stamp Set. This set has coordinating dies to cut out all the images and large sentiments. 

This card is A2 size and all Papertrey Ink supplies I used are listed below.

The Bigs Winter Sentiments & coordinating dies - for the snowman, holly, and snowflake images plus the "let it snow" sentiment. 

North Pole Mail: Postage Stamp Frame dies - I used the middle size die in the set for the pink mat

Cornered Snowflakes dies - for the intricate snowflake die cut detail on the green background mat 

PTI cardstock colors: Sweet Blush & Ocean Tides

PTI ink colors: Sweet Blush, Mint Julep, Pinefeather, Scarlet Jewel, & Orange Zest

The grey ink that I used to stamp the sentiment, snowflake, and add shading to the snowman is Catherine Pooler Twillight. For the shading on the snowman, I used a small sponge dauber to lightly tap some of the grey ink onto the stamp. 

To get a two toned effect (on snowflake & holly leaves) I used the small sponge daubers again to apply the ink in select spots on the stamps. For example, on the holly, I inked up the image with Mint Julep and stamped normally. Then I applied Pinefeather with the sponge dauber and stamped again.

Be sure to check back here tomorrow. I will have more projects to share showcasing a super fun new stand alone die set. It's one of my favs from this release!
