Annual Sweet Pea Christmas Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Sweet Pea Stamps annual Christmas Blog Hop!!



Each year the Sweet Pea Stamps design team loves to create a hop for Lynette, owner of Sweet Pea Stamps as our gift to her for Christmas. We are all in awe of the lovely stamps she offers and want to show our appreciation for her kindness and generosity.

Below is my rendition of the beautiful "Face #1" by Karen Middleton.


 This SP artist makes the most lovely stamps!  I used Cryogen papers, Provo emb folder,
punches, Copic and Distress markers and set some punched snowflakes on the 
paper before airbrushing color for a subtle background.
I may have overdone the "picket fence" highlights?
So..... 
What would a blog hop be without some candy? Only one lucky person will win these gorgeous rubber stamps. Just leave comments along the way - each time you do you will earn another chance at winning!  The more comments you leave, the more chances you receive!

This year the hop stops are:
Connie     <you are here!!

 Thank you for stopping by and good luck!

Beautiful Connie. The highlights in the hair are so necessary and nothing I would have thought to do. I really like the way you trimmed the image and have the shadowed flakes on the background.
