two feet deep revisited...

Happiest, Merriest December to you!  I love all things Christmas, so this month, watch out....I may be blogging up a snow storm :).  The Papertrey Ink Sr. Team is revisiting the oh, so loved, Two Feet Deep stamp set.  Love it more and more, each and every time I use it.

For my first card, I tried my hand at a pink sled, because, why not?  I embellished the front with a stamped and die cut candy cane from the Candy Cane Christmas stamp set.  I then added the sweet, stamped pine spray, which is also from Two Feet Deep.  These items were stamped in Sweet Blush, Smokey Shadow, Spring Moss, Aqua Mist, Autumn Rose, and Ocean Tides.

I created my stamped background my using the Rosie Posie and Rosie Posie Step 2 stamp sets.  I used the same colors as mentioned above, stamping off the Autumn Rose and Ocean Tides first, before stamping.  I like the lighter shades this technique can provide.  I added my simple, stamped sentiment at the bottom, which is from the Tree Trimming Trio stamp set.

My next card was so much fun to make.  I love wreaths...they make life so pretty, don't they?  I chose to hang a stamped wreath from Deck the Halls over a pair of skis from Two Feet Deep.  

 

My skis are stamped in Classic Kraft and Soft Stone and my wreath is stamped in Ripe Avocado and Scarlet Jewel.  The pine spray attached to the bow is stamped in Simply Chartreuse, Autumn Rose, and Ocean Tides.

In the background, I used Stormy Sea + White Basics, followed by a white layer stamped using the Fair Isle stamp set...love this one too.  My sentiment is stamped on a die cut tag and tucked under my layers.

Are you ready for more?  Follow the links below and you'll be amazed...I just know it :)

So pretty! I, too, love the pink sled. Your happy winter card is gorgeous. The colors are great for a winter card. I like how you used the Fair Isle stamp in subtle color on the background. Such a pretty backdrop for the skis and wreath.
