Here is a Christmas card I have made using a Sweet Pea Stamps image by Ching-Chou Kuik called "where we met". It is available as a digital stamp, single rubber stamp and as part of a multi-image plate (Sheet 42, Plate 203 - Where we met comes on the multi-image plate with Late Autumn, Little Bow and Wild Royalty).
I have coloured the image in with my Promarkers and edged around the image with a light blue Pan Pastel whilst I kept my die in place. I then used my new Wink of Stella clear glitter pen to add some sparkle. I love the effect my Sakura Stardust clear pen gives but on bigger surface areas I'd get scratch marks even if I used in circular motions. The Wink of Stella is a fine brush and doesn't do that.
The backing papers aren't Christmas ones. They area scraps leftover from previous cards from my two year old Tim Holtz paper pad. I have inked around the edges of the papers/image with Tim Holtz's Gathered Twigs distress ink pad. I have finished the card off with some die-cut holly and a little deer which I have rubbed over Imagination Crafts Diamond Sparkle Medium, satin ribbon, Craftwork Cards die-cut sentiment, organza ribbon, button and Card Candi.
