I love the clean and fluid lines of this stamp design. They make the images look so fresh and pretty.
In order to show off the lines, I used white-embossing on Kraft card stock to do just that. I did some light coloring with Spectrum Noir Color Pencils.

Isn't this stamp set lovely and enchanting?
Imagine the wintery scene that you can create...
Oh.... the possibilities.

Oh.... the possibilities.
With the help of MISTI, I was able to stamp the images and then clear-embossed all of them. I took out my trusty Kuretake Watercolors and lightly colored them all.
I also want to point out the merit of glitter embossing powder (see the glittery ground?)
and Nuvo Crystal Drops (the "snow" will stay dimensional)
To me, they help create "magic".
Prize alert --> be sure to leave a comment at each hop. One kit will be given away as a prize to one blog reader (selected from the comments across all of the blogs in the hop).
The kit is available for a limited time only - once it's gone, it's gone.

Loving the soft colors on the card.
You have created two really fun and fantastic cards using the newly released My Monthly Hero Arts kid and add-on's. I forget to use kraft cardstock and your first card is just lovely on the craft. I love how the 2nd card is so completely different from the first card in such a lovely way showing just how versatile these wonderful stamps and dies are. Thank you for the great inspiration too! ~Karen M.
Two totally different cards made with the one set love them.
Wonderful! I really like how the trees came out in the second card. Just lovely. Thank you.
Two beautiful cards. I especially like the first one with its folk-art feel. Nicely done!
I like the very soft look of your cards, nice job.
Love love love this kit

Wonderful scenes! I love how you colored them!
Oh my gosh. So cute!
Beautiful cards! I especially like the one made on craft. It's so pretty!
Great scenes on both cards!
VIrginia, your cards are so different from the others that I have seen. The first one is almost a Grandma Moses style with the hillsides drawn in and the simple lines of the stamped trees and a small house with footsteps leading to ? where -- we don't know. The second one is also very nice with the stamped images embossed and then watercolored. You have your own style and I congratulate you on it. Thank you for sharing.
Love these cards
I love the little scenes you created!
I really love both of your cards but the one with the little house really calls to me. What an adorable scene!
You said be inspired,and I am!Such amazing talent on this blog hop!
I like how the soft of your pretty cards are so pleasing to my eyes.
Very lovely . I love all these Watercolor scenes.
Your cards are always amazing, Virginia! These were beautiful and fun uses of the add-on sets.
Wow, wow, wow. Great ideas!
Cute scenes you have put together using this set.
Beautiful projects, they look like vintage cards with their warm feel :)
AWESOME card! I love these little critters! and the dies! I'm so bummed that I was too late to order the Kit!

Great cards, Virginia! This is just an adorable kit! Thanks so much for sharing with us and for participating in this great hop and giveaway.
Very lovely cards! Great kit.
Beautiful cards. Thanks for sharing.

That little pop of red in the Cardinal makes this card perfect!
Both of these cards are beautiful. I especially love the little house with the footprints in the snow leading up to the door!
Your cards are beautiful! Love them.
Love your amazing scenes. Beautiful projects
Very nice cards. I love the snow globe. I wish they would bring it back even if they don't use anything else. I really wanted the globe.
Love both of your cards!
Great cards, the one on craft card stock is my fav!
Thanks for sharing them!
Those are just plain FUN cards!
Your cards are just lovely!
Love these scenes you created.
Beautiful scenic cards - and an awesome kit,
You've made such beautiful and inspirational cards :) tfs
These cards are so beautiful!! Looks like you drew them by hand. Thanks for sharing!!
I absolutely love your cards. The first design is so cute and reminds me a bit of a decorated cookie. And the second just... wow. I am just blown away with how amazing that looks. You have definitely inspired me!
Very unique looking cards. Thank you for sharing.
Your cards and this card kit are amazing!!!!
Super eye catching cards!
I like the dimension you added to the cards. Thanks
Beautiful cards. Love the techniques you used .
Your cards are so cute and heartwarming! Love your creations.
I like your second card the most.
Great cards! I like the scenes you created!
Oh Virginia! What lovely, soft coloring...great design with subtle embossed images. TY!👏🏻
Your cards are so pretty and delicate. I can just smell the smoke coming out of the chimney and I can smell the butter cookies baking in the oven in the house. Can I come and help decorate the cookies? Since the card is yours, you should have first dibs on decorating the cookies. In the second card I can hear the silence in the woods and the snow falling on the animals. In fact, the animals look hand drawn, not stamped which I think is very cool. Your cards are beautiful and I would love to win that set so I can make cards as beautiful as yours.
