Here is my first creation using the new stamp set Living Water as well as the new Double Stitched Rectangles dies, Rectangles Dies, and Double Stitched Circle Dies. I had so much fun coloring the image with copics. I then sponged the sky with Bashful Blue and Baja Breeze ink and added Liquid Applique and white sparkling crystal glitter for dimension and sparkle to make the image look more wintery.

In addition to the new releases, I used the Patriotic Paper Collection, Circle Ornaments dies (which coordinates beautifully with the new Double Stitched Circle dies), elegant oval dies and the Fancy Ornaments dies.

My second creation uses the Safe Travels image and verse as well as the Rectangles dies, Double Stitched Rectangles dies, Vintage Flourish Pattern dies, Ovals dies, and Stitched Ovals dies. After coloring the image and cutting it out using the rectangular dies, I added crystal effects to make the scene more wintery.
