Susana over at SCACD Stamps has put together a FANTASTIC surprise release, and it’s all available TODAY! 

There are two mini collections out today, and two never before seen stamps!  After checking out our blog hop, you can either buy the stamps direct from Susana’s Custom Art & Card Design or if you’re in the UK you can also grab it all (including the complete sets) at Quixotic Paperie.

The blog hop starts here with me!  Make sure you check out all the stops along the way, because there is some fabulous inspiration to be had, and you will get to check out all of the new images in glorious colour.

My card was created using one of the stamps from the new Victoria Case for SCACD Mini Winter Hearts & Hugs Set – “I Got Your Back!”.  As soon as I saw this one I fell in love and knew exactly what I wanted to do with it!  The movement in this image is wonderful, and the little penguin is adorable.  Victoria Case just keeps getting better, and I love the character her images have.

I coloured the image with Copic Markers, accented with Glamour Dust and a Sakura Stardust Pen, then cut it out and coloured the cut edges with a Memento Tuxedo Black marker pen.

The scene was created using the gorgeous Echo Park Wintertime paper as a base, to which I added the snowy hills I cut freehand from white cardstock and inked with Distress Inks.  When it was all stuck down, I added Glamour Dust to the tops of the hills for a gorgeous sparkly effect.  On the next step of the card, I added more hills, and popped the image up on foam pads so she appears to be sledding down them.

Those adorable and quirky little houses on top of the hills?  My new favourite Tim Holtz On The Edge Die, cut up, backed with white cardstock and then coloured with Copic Markers to add the dark and lit window details.

The snowman, border and “wintertime” stickers on the last step are from the sticker sheet that comes with the Echo Park Wintertime Collection Kit.
