Inspired By All The Little Things #33

It's my week as hostess on the Inspired By All The Little Things blog, and I adore bottle brush trees for the holidays, so I couldn't resist choosing them for my inspiration photo this week!

 I wanted to do a little watercolouring this week...  I started out by white embossing some tree images that I have, and painted over them, but the effect wasn't what I wanted.  So - I tried again with a snowman image from Art Impressions, sticking with the watercolours, using all the pinks and greens in the photo.  I used some masking fluid to create the falling snow, and used a combo of Distress inks and Tombow markers mixed with water to make my scene.  I still need a fair bit of practice with my paintbrush, but overall I'm fairly happy with how he turned out!

 My guest this week is the very talented Myra Webb - head on over to the Inspired By blog to see what she & our fabulous Design Team have come up with.  Hope you'll play along!

Snowman Shaker card for November Challenge

We are launching a new challenge on the One Crazy Stamper store blog today - it's Anything Goes for the month of November - any stamps or products are fine, just no digi stamps!  I am sharing one of the new Art Impressions Shakers called Snowman Shaker (Sku #4514):

Each of the Ai Shakers come with the main image, a stamp of just the torso, a sentiment and an Action Wobble.  Here's a close up of the snowman so that you can see how the torso image is popped up on the Wobble so that it shakes when you flick it, or shake the card:
