here are a couple of cards i made for today's blog hop featuring the newest stamp set from jane's doodles - vintage christmas.
both of these cards have some texture added to the stamped images. after coloring santa's hat with a marker i added a bit of white fluffy flock. as for the happy snowman - his hat was cut from felt, his scarf is a scrap of fabric, and his arms are twigs from the yard.
to start back at the beginning of the blog hop head on over to jane's blog.
one commenter along the hop will win the vintage christmas set - so be sure to leave a comment on each blog you visit to increase you chances of winning.
and the next stop along the hop is one of this month's guest designers - nichol.
