Artistic Outpost is releasing a new winter plate today. Sleigh Ride features nostalgic images of children in their coats and finery, perfect for your winter or holiday projects. It also features a versatile background stamp of glistening pine trees and holiday sentiments and collage elements.
These stamps are available both as an unmounted sheet of red rubber measuring 8.5" x 5.5" or mounted on EZMount clingfoam, pre-trimmed, and stored on a printed cling card.
After the ink dried, I placed the tag between newsprint and ironed off the embossing powder to get a cool batik effect. The final step was putting Stickles Crystal Glitter Glue on my finger and patting it all over the trees until they were covered with a glittery night snow sparkle. I used jewelry cord at the top of my tag and unwound and unraveled it a bit to give it a frayed effect.
My second card paired handmade papers with the cute little sleigh ride image. I stamped in India ink and then used Egyptian Gold Twinkling H2O's to add gold glimmery accents to coordinate with the gold flecks in the handmade paper. I tore the edges and put my adhesive about 3/4" from the edges, so I could curl the edges after attaching.
I added some hand-dyed seam binding ribbon from Outpost Attic Findings and a tiny snowflake from the set (also accented with gold) as an accent.
Make sure you check out the other design team blogs for more fabulous projects featuring these great images.
