I have used their stamp - Sleepy Time for this card.

This fox is beautiful.  I nestled her onto a die cut from Stampin Up

from the set: Swirly Scribbles and punched a few very mini butterflies that I can't remember what store I found at. Sorry.

Cupcake Inspirations.

We have a great theme going on, so be sure to stop over and

check out all the Design Teams cards!

So, Spectacular Backgrounds,  I really wasn't sure what I wanted to do.

With this adorable winter holiday image from Crafty Sentiments, I needed 

to make it wintery.  

(Harriet Lantern) you can find her HERE.

I took glossy card stock and embossed it with the background stamp from Fiskers with white embossing powder.

Then using a multi color blue ink pad, I brayered the whole card front in the shades of blue.

Wiped off the card front with a cloth. 

Colored her up using Copic Markers and there you go. One holiday card done!

I haven't used this technique in many years.  So fun to go back and revisit!
