DF Winter cards

I know it's after Christmas and I have moved onto creating Valentine's cards BUT I forgot to take pics & post these 3 cards from my last Starving Artistamps Doodlefactory Winter set before mailing to Tracey.  She was kind enough to take the pics for me & send them so here they are! On my first card, I used Mel Stampz Vintage dictionary scans of Merry & Christmas (printed pdf on my printer. Then, I shabbied it up by crumpling my cardstock & rubbing several Distress inks (I believe tea dye & vintage photo) 

my next card uses the wind up toy & I made him in motion by stamping him in baja breeze ink and withouth re-inking the stamp, I kept stamping to the right of him so it has a blurred look about it.  I used my new Basic Grey offbeat pad on this and Jen's Sketch for you to try from several weeks ago (Dec 13).  The sentiment is from Casual Holiday Greetings. 

Lastly, this is my favorite frm the DF Winter set, the squirrely girl.  I thought it would be cute to put a thought bubble from the Doodledads set (also the stars & circles on the bottom) with the sentiment I believe in Santa Claus from Casual Holiday Greetings.  Since I had my distress inks out, I shabbied this up with some sponging too. 

Reminder: You have until tomorrow to participate in the Clearly Cool Card Challenge to win a set of Santa's Sweet Shoppe stamps (or other if you already have it) hosted by Tracey with Starving Artistamps (at Papercraft Planet) 

DF Winter Fun - Mayhew & Bling Bling Sexy Lips

I just had to get the Doodlefactory Collection Winter Set (which was last year's but I didn't know about them until this year).  I think all the DF sets are so unique & fun and this is no exception! My favorite is the squirrelly girl & the snowman - this set was created prior to the naming of the DF characters, guess I may have to make up my own, huh?  Let's call this dude Mayhew ... Variant of Matthew (Hebrew) "gift of the Lord" since he is wearing his yamika & holding his menorah in the midst of celebrating Hannukah with his presents & dreidel - exlcaiming 'Oh Goodies'  

Here is my snowman Bling-Bling Sexy-Lips* built in the meadow.  I got the idea to create my meadow from this card by Anna Wight (she used patterned paper for her meadow).  I just cut a scratch piece of cardstock with various size waves & laid on my cardstock & sponged with baja breeze ink.  The I put a layer of stardust stickles on it.  So fun!  The tree is from the DF Halloween set from last year.   The sentiment is from Casual Holiday Greetings.  Bling Bling Sexy Lips' scarf is colored with Copic atyou Spica pens for some bling (I'm totally addicted to them!)
