I really love the latest color combo from PDCC #161, I couldn't help making a card with two of my favorite Hero Arts Stamp.And remember the "Stamp-kissing" technique? If you are not familiar with this technique, here and here are great tutorials.
I love how the blue brings out the wintery look of this fabulous stamp called Merriest Christmas Wishes. I made it "kiss" the Music Background. See how MERRY it looks? The tree trunks were colored with a mixture of water and Distress Ink (Antique Linen) with the help of a paint brush. I finally put my new ribbons from Michael's to good use.
A BIG thank-you for the warmest birthday wishes yesterday over Facebook, Hero Arts Flickr Group and my blog here. I am deeply touched!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Absolutely LOVE this card, as I adore this stamp. Haven't been very successful in my use of it yet, as I always get the color splotchy when I try stamping it. Love the music background and your painting on the tree trunks. I'll be trying this technique. Thanks for sharing.
