Winter Cards 4 Kids Card Recipe

I recently went to a crop last month and saw this adorable stamp set by Avery Elle and I am going to confess that I CASE'd the card they had as a sample.  I had some snowflakes expand after I stamped them in Hero Arts white Unicorn ink, but snow isn't perfect, right?  I stamped the trees in brown ink using my new MISTI that I bought at the crop from the Doodlebug in Jasper, IN.  I'm not sure I see the benefit of the new MISTI, but I am sure I will.  :-). I'm definitely a MISTI fan be it the old or the new.  I stamped the birds on some thick card stock that held a charm pack of fabric so it was very thick.  I had to dry the ink with my heat gun because I stamped on the shiny white side.  I used my Tombow markers to color the birds and I fussy cut them out.  The sentiment also came in the stamp set.  I am going to use this set to make cards for my card swap group.
