Mark's Finest Papers Blog Hop Day 2

Today's featured sets are Christmas Postage and Bold & Free.
For my first sample I used the Santa postage stamp. Isn't he the cutest?
For my second sample I made a "postage sheet of stamps" with the Nutcracker, colored in different colors of Copic markers and highlighted with gold and silver glitter Smooch accent ink.
My third is an easel card using all MFP supplies (except for punches). The silhouette image was stamped in a dark brown on a brayered and sponged color background. The tag features the sentiment and the wheat grass image. Designer paper is Indian Summer by Basic Grey.

Snowflake Sparkle and a Nutcracker

Two more projects toward my Christmas Countdown. The first is easy but a little messy with all of the glitter. I cut the large Sizzix snowflake and some of the new Northern Flurries Sizzix die and covered them in various colors of SU glitter. Center is an Ice rhinestone brad. An ornament or I may use it as my tree topper for my stamp room tree.
The second project is a sneak peek of a darling set due out on Tuesday from Mark's Fines Papers called Christmas Postage. I used the nutcracker stamp image and colored it in Copics and highlighted it in various places with the Stardust gelly roll pen by Sakura and a gold Spica marker. Basic Grey Figgy designer paper on a white base.
