The Cup of the Week will receive ALL FOUR of these beautiful stamp sets, each Fab 4 Winner will receive ONE of these sets chosen by Glenda at Elusive Images.

The PDCC Designers were all given Elusive Images Christmas stamps to use with today's challenge - I received the beautiful New England Winter Set. 

Being sponsored by Elusive Images, and not having one of their sentiments, I chose to leave the sentiment off my card.  One can easily be added in the open space, or a handwritten "from our house to yours".   You can't see the dimension in this photos, but the small snippet at the top of my blog shows how I popped out the tree, house and window with dimensionals.  The images were stamped in Black Archival on Watercolor paper then colored using the Marker Watercoloring Technique.  I did add a touch of Brown as a "neutral" for parts of the house, tree trunk and fence.

Here's this weeks Color Story Photo. We'd love for you to play along with us at the Cafe, you can find all the details here on how to enter.  If you upload to any online gallery please use keyword PDCC#50 so we can find your creations!
