cheerful stamp pad challenges are back!

welcome to 2013 and a new year of challenges at the cheerful stamp pad. the first two week challenge for this year is "white as snow" and you are invited to work with a background or palette of white.  use of snow is optional!

one nice new feature on the cheerful stamp pad blog is that you can see the next few challenges on the right hand side bar -- gives you the opportunity to plan ahead!

i decided to try a new technique from technique junkies called "white negative."

stamp credits: tree branch from inkadinkado; japanese script from mad rat rubber and peace stamp from hero arts.

our challenge sponsor this round is classy cards n such where you can find stamps, embossing folders, all kinds of bling and much more.  the randomly selected winner will get a nice treat from the sponsor.

i'm hoping for peace in 2013 so this is my happy new year card to all of you!  enjoy and love to all.
