Winter Blessings

Hello everyone! Happy new year! I hope you get time to stamp to your heart's content this year! I certainly hope to stamp a lot more than I did last year. Stamping makes my soul so very happy, but with 2 young kids and a full time job it's hard to find time. Well, I'm going to try to stamp a bit every week! Do you have any craft resolutions for 2020?
I'm sharing 2 cards I made with my brand new stampset Snowy Pine Trees from Kitchen Sink Stamps. I just love, love, love this set, there are so many possibilities. It is so easy to create an artsy watercolor look! 
For my first card, I stamped the trees with Gina K inks on watercolor paper and created background with Taylored Expressions Blender brushes. I ran over the ink blended sky with a wet brush for the watercolor look. I also went over the trees with a wet brush to soften the colors. The sentiment is from the Winter Blessings set from Unity Stamps.
It's really rare that I have a vision for a card and it turns out exactly as I imagined in one try. The second card I'm sharing is one of those rare cards, I am so happy with the way it turned out!
It featured the same stamps, this time I used distress inks for the background and did not add water to it.
Playing along the following challenges:
Thanks so much for stopping by today, have a great rest of the week!
