Tomorrow Our Craft Lounge releases 31 new stamp sets and today is the final day of sneak peeks. I have the pleasure of showing you one of my favorites of the new sets, Tweet Winter Wishes, a clear acrylic stamp set illustrated by Marianne Walker. You'll be able to see all the images in this set tomorrow, when they are released for sale, on the Our Craft Lounge blog. You can also check the OCL blog, for a list of links to all the blogs that will have sneak peeks of 10 of the new stamp sets today.
Here's my sweet snowman creation:
Aren't those little birds darling?! I adore snowmen and was thrilled to be able to work with this set. The images were stamped, cut out, and colored with these Copic markers:
The image was then glued onto a Cosmo Cricket Wonderland tag and a glittered ghost snowflake shape added. I used this week's sketch challenge at Splitcoaststampers.com for the layout.
Did you know Our Craft Lounge also has its own online forum community? You can find them HERE. They post all sorts of fun challenges and contests for you there, too. Don't forget to check the OCL blog today for a list of bloggers that have sneak peeks of this and nine more stamp sets that will be released for sale tomorrow!
I'll be back tomorrow with my sample using the OCL stamp set that I'll be giving away here on my blog, so I hope you'll check back for that!
