A few weeks ago a friend lent me the wonderful Stampendous Snowy Postcard stamp. I stamped it several times and then left them sitting on my desk. Then I saw today's Ways to Use It challenge "To the Post" and decided it was perfect for it and also for last Friday's Mixability challenge "Snowy Scenes".
My mixed media are: ink to stamp the image; Distress ink to sponge lightly inside the oval and more darkly around the edges; coloured pencils to add colour to the houses and holly; glossy accents for the holly berries; Frantage chunky embossing powder for the snow on the roofs of the buildings; and Frantage Shabby Blue Embossing Enamel scattered over the sky and ground and heated from underneath for the snow.

You have created a beautiful winter scene with this stamp. I especially love how you created the snow. (I never knew there was such a thing as chunky ep, I'll be checking that out.) Such wonderful balance with the brown and gold in the oval and the color of the holly and berries on the outside. I recently purchased this stamp and did the same thing, stamped the image and left it sitting. I am inspired to return and give it another try. TFS
