Speckled Background Rubber Cling Stamp - Whimsy Stamps

 Happy Saturday friends!

I hope you are all well and your weekend has happy plans!

I am off to London tomorrow to see my youngest son Als and we are going to see Hamilton for the second time!  I am waaaaay too excited already! 

In the meantime, I am containing myself by sharing a couple of my favourite makes so far this year!

Wonderful Whimsy Stamps have released an absolutely fabulous background stamp, perfect for so many card making ideas but especially great for someone like me who LOVES making Winter themed and Christmas cards!

Speckled Background Rubber Cling Stamp

This card was so lovely to make, and quick!

I cut a wavy line into a piece of masking paper and starting at the horizon and working down I very gently blended Distress oxides over the card to create the sky and the hills in the snow.  I used a really light touch for this so that the ink faded away into the background.

I stamped that fabulous tree in black ink.

I stamped and heat embossed the gorgeous speckled background in white.

Finally I stamped the sentiment as shown, again in black ink.

I made three cards in this style, to be honest I could have played all day and made dozens!  The possibilities are endless, especially if you are after a quick and effective card.
