Hi All!
If you missed yesterday's post and announcement, make sure and scroll down to yesterday's post to read the details about
MFP Blog Hop. I will put the information and instructions at the end of this post as well.
For today's card I used the Flourishes Lamp Post stamp set. (which you can get at Mark's Finest Papers). I made this card three times before I was finally satisfied with the end result. I tried airbrushing.... I tried sponging....Guess "third time is charm?" :-)

The image was stamped on
MFP Snow Storm Smooth. I masked the image and sponged two shades of blue ink for the night sky. Then the image was colored with
Copics. What would a holiday lamp post be without some snow? I added Polar White Flower Soft at the bottom of the lamp post and touches of Star Dust
Stickles in the sky. The light and wreath have touches of
atYou Spica Clear, Yellow and Gold. The background paper panels are
MFP Spring Green and China Blue Eyes.
Just as a reminder...
