A few years back I bought both Tim Holtz stamp sets that included the horse drawn sleigh as I couldn't decide which size I liked the best. Today I'm posting cards using both sizes of the stamp. The cards are slightly different sizes but are both 6" across so you can see the different sizes in the stamps.
First up the bigger version of the stamp:
This is an A6 card, slightly larger than the A2 I usually make. I stamped and heat embossed the image in white on black cs. Then scattered Frantage chunky embossing powder randomly over the panel and heated it from underneath so that it wouldn't blow away. For the snowy ground, I scribbled with a Versamark pen and then added Frantage to that and heated it. Instead of stamping a sentiment, I used one of the Tim Holtz Christmas quote strips I bought ages ago but have never used!
The second card is similar but uses the smaller version of the stamp and is a mini slimline size.
Same technique but I added a white heat embossed sentiment that came in the same stamp set.

These are both pretty and lovely, snowy scenes. I really like the sentiment so much on the second card. The frantage made great snow.
ReplyDeleteBoth versions are striking Susan and a great idea to have the two sizes of the beautiful sleigh. I enjoyed seeing the two different versions and I love both x.
ReplyDeleteYour cards are perfect for the challenges you entered, Susan. I love how you showed the differences in the sizes of each stamp set. Beautiful card designs, my friend. TFS both card formats. Love and Hugs...Nancy
ReplyDeleteI can't decide which size I like best! Both sizes make beautiful cards and I believe you'll be using both often! Love the "snow" on the black background!
ReplyDeleteThe both look wonderful and great way to create two different size cards. Awesome job with the frantage :)
ReplyDeleteI like both cards. That image is perfect for white embossing on black card. It's a classic design, Susan. I like the mini slimline size, but love the quote strip on your first one. xx

I like them both, Susan! It's so nice and convenient to have different sizes of the same image stamp. The beautiful white silhouette looks awesome on black, and the Frantage Chunky snow is perfect for the scene. The red quote strip and the vertical sentiment make a wonderful variation!
