Dasher Sweet Treat Cup Ornament - Paper Players #65

I seem to be slower than others in making cards and other 3D items using the sweet treat cups.  But now that I have started I see endless possibilities.  In this card, using the sketch challenge from Paper Players here I create an ornament, which of course is approprite for this time of year.

Stamps: Sweet Centers, Winter Post, Snow Swirled
Inks: Marina Mist, Early Espresso
Papers: Marina Mist, Whisper White, Letters to Santa designer Paper
Accessories: Sweet Treat Cup, 1 3/4" circle punch, 1" circle punch, Snowflake die #2, Starburst embossing folder, 3/8" Baja Breeze seam binding, dazzling diamonds, silver glass glitter, white acrylic paint, clear rhinestone brad, 2 1/2" circle punch

This close up of  the ornament with Dasher in it, shows a Marina Mist sky with snowflakes make using white acrylic paint dabbed on the sky using the end of a small paint brush.  The ground is covered with dazzling diamonds.
Dasher was stamped with Early Espresso ink, cut out and superimposed over the snow covered ground using dimensionals.  I also put some silver glass glitter which you can see at the bottom of the cup (you have to look carefully as I didn't want to put too much in there)

Winter Post meets Snow Swirled - DCBD #241 Sketch Challenge

For this Christmas card made using the sketch with the Diva Coffee Break Designs here I combined two stamp sets - using the masking technique.

The image of the skaters was stamped with Early Espresso ink, then masked before stamping the tree from Snow Swirled in Wild Wasabi ink behind the skaters.  I coloured the skaters using Stampin Pastels and a blender pen.  White acrylic paint was applied to the end of a paint brush handle and daubed on the sky to mimic snowflakes.  Dazzling diamonds sprinkled over the wet paint make the snowflakes sparkle.
The large snowflakes were made using the Snowflake punch.  Glue was applied to each flake using the Two Way glue pen and again dazzling diamonds was applied.  A red flower (with small snips between each petal) from the Boho flower punch and a metallic brad embossed with Wild Wasabi embossing powder was attached to the center of each snow flake.
The sentiment was stamped on Whisper White and punched with the Decorative Label punch which was reinserted into the punch to make it smaller.
