Reminder for the Craft Stamper's TIMI challenge

It's been running a week already; the TIMI challenge from the Craft Stamper !!
 So here is a reminder to join! 

It's Take A Theme this time: 'Snow and Ice':
 Create seasonal makes, or use lots of white product!
Think gesso, embossing paste, white paint, embossing powders and glitters.
Remember to include rubber/polymer stamping on your project somehow, somewhere!

AND only one project in your post. 

I've used stamps and a stencil from Magemta! 

The sponsor this time is Craft Box;  for more info see the challenge on the Craft Stamper website, please. 

Sunny card!

I've been playing with waterbased markers on my stamps.
I created a custom made MISTI, so I could stamp every color seperately, building it up from light to dark.
The script stamp has also been colored with a waterbased marker.
I've misted before stamping, and cleaned it off inbetween.

I've also sponged with ink from the marker.

I am sure I'll be using this technique again, it's fun!

Hope you like it!
