Grateful And A Snowy Turtles

Hello and welcome.  Today is New Release Tuesday over at Bugaboo Stamps and we have two adorable turtles perfect for your holiday cards.

First up is Thanksgiving Turtle.  After I printed the image onto Hammermill white card stock, I colored it using both prismacolor and copic markers before stippling stormy sky, brushed corduroy and garden green inks around it then layered.  For the card, I pulled out a scrap piece of designer paper from I scrap pack I purchased years ago, and never used.  I then pulled a scrap dry embossed panel left over from another project and lightly sanded it before also adding that to the card.  I then added the layered image, copper brads and cord before stamping my saying from a retired Stampin Up set onto scraps and punched it out.  Once the saying was added to the bottom right of the card, I dusted off my Marvy oak leaf punch and punched several leaves to add.  Since I felt the card was missing something, I dug out my box of punched flowers, leftover from other projects, and added a few of those using Ranger glossy accents.  The final touch was copper ice stickles in the center of the flowers.

Next up is Turtle Winter.  After printing the image onto white Hammermill card stock and coloring, I stippled Tim Holtz broken china and stormy sky inks around it then cut it down to size to fit a smaller card I had left over from another project.  Once that was done, I layered it onto scrap black card stock before adding to the card.  I then punched out some small circles to make my own "faux brads" from the black card stock leftovers since I ran out of black ones.  I then dug out some leftover silver cord (need to get more), a snowflake charm I've had for years and not used, and some silver sequins then added all that to the card.  The final touch was waterfall and diamond ice stickles to highlight parts of the snow.
