It’s day three of the countdown teasers for Clearly Besotted and today I have a pretty snow scene card for you. One of the stamps I was most excited about in this new release was the Picture It Christmas stamp and I couldn’t wait to ink it up! And you don’t need to add anything else to it, it can stand on it’s own to create a beautiful snow scene. But I chose to add a little something else…..
This stamp is wonderful as it does all the work for you, no masking at all. So I stamped it onto some Neenah 80lb and coloured it with Copics. At the same time I stamped a little hippo from the Hippo Christmas set from a few months ago and coloured that in. The greeting from the new Cheerful Calligraphy was added with Versafine Onyx Black ink.
I trimmed a small border around the top of the masked scene, added some DST to the back and adhered it to a base card which had been matted with plain navy cardstock. I love the block of colour at the top, I think it really makes the snow pop.
To embellish the card I added lots of sparkle onto different elements of the card – the hat and sack, the chalet roofs and the trees. I added some Tonic Nuvo glaze to the baubles on the tree. I wish you could see the sparkle and shine – it’s so pretty in real life!
That finishes today’s card for you – it really didn’t take long to do, and it’s almost a one layer, so great for postage. Please hop over to see what all the other ladies have designed for you today – Stephanie, Michelle and Keren.
I’ll be back with my final teaser for you tomorrow. All new sets will go live at Clearly Besotted and Simon Says Stamp at 8pm GMT on 1st December.

You are a Christmas card-making machine, Lisa!! This is – in a word – perfect! Beautiful scene in Christmas colors mixed with humor, just the way I like a Christmas card! That Santa Hippo is a hoot!! Happy Holiday Hugs! Darnell

Keren Baker says
The scene is perfect- Santa hippo looks at home!! I love the way you’ve positioned the stamp in the middle – the stamp is so versatile! x
Andrea Hastilow says
Oh Lisa love this scene ! Hippo makes a fabulous cameo too. So nicely & brightly coloured as normal off you. What’s even better is that all the hard work of masking, organising placement has been done for me, all I’ve got to do is stamp then work on not ruining it as I colour it. Thank you all at CB.
