For my card, I used today's sponsor, Waffle Flower, but I didn't have any holiday stamps made by them so I had to get creative. :)
I used the Riverside stamp set and tuerned the elemennts in this stamp set into a winter scene. I'm sure it's a little chilly in the tent, but I don't think the bunny minds LOL! When I stamped the bunny, I didn't ink the top of his head so I could draw a Santa hat on him and make him a little festive.
I did some masking to create the scene with the tent, bunny, trail and tree stamps and then I coloured the rest of the scene with my Copic markers to give it a night sky. I also used my white gel pen to make it snow.
Since the stamp set didn't have any holiday sentiments, I used a sentiment from a Neat and Tangled stamp set to complete my card.

Awwww, such a cute scene (the bunny gets to sleep in the tent, right? He's SO ADORABLE!) That's a LOT of white gel pen work there, very impressive, and very pretty too. I love it. Thank you for the beautiful holiday inspiration!
Beautiful winter scene.

Gorgeous night time snow scene. I love the blues of the sky, and I hope bunny can be warm in his tent tonight!
I accidentally posted this on Taheerah's blog instead of here (on wrong tab in Google). So now, commenting where it belongs:
Wow – love this card, and am now more excited as I actually have the Riverside stamp set and hadn’t even used it yet; thank you for the inspiration – doubt I’d ever have thought of such a pretty winter scene as you did with your card!!!
You did a fantastic job of adapting
a summer stamp to a winter project.
I'm sure the bunny will appreciate
the tent - better than being under
a bush. Great card.
thanks for sharing.
What a great card. You did a beautiful job on the sky/moon. Thank you for sharing.
Love this scene you created! The moon is so real!
This is quite stunning and very creative since
you don't have any holiday sets by Waffle Flower!
And all that gorgeous snow - great job!
Good job on using what you had and making a Christmas themed card. Cool the way you drew the Santa hat for the bunny. :) My favorite thing about this card though is all the falling snow....it is awesome! Happy holidays!
So sweet!!

I think you did a great job adapting the stamps you have to a holiday set! Honestly, that's a lesson we all could use so we can make more of our stamps. And your copic sky is just gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your creativity and participating in Taheerah's advent calendar!

Gorgeous background & darling card! So creative!
Love how you took the bunny stamp and made a winter scene as well as the tip on how you put his Santa hat on him.
It's so obvious that you put in some time in order to get all of this done. Is that the man in the moon I see? It's a beautiful card. Thank you for sharing.
Great idea for using what you have to make a Christmas card!
Just beautiful, love it!

Beautiful card! Love the snowfall!
What a gorgeous card. It just goes to show you really can mix and match stamps and dies etc from all companies not just one. I find myself doing this more and more now. TFS. And thanks for being in the blog hop xx 🥂 xx
Fabulous scene! I LOVE your sky!
You're so creative - love the festive bunny and the idea of Christmas winter camping!
love your snowy little scene!
This card is so cute. I love the snowing and your background is stunning. thank you for sharing.
I love the snowy, night sky and the tranquility.
You did a fantastic job on that moon! What a good job on re-inventing uses for your stamps.
oh my gosh, I love it! your backgrounds are so fabulous!!!
Cute card love the bunny.
This card is too cute and your creativity is great!
Super adorable card.
Love the night sky!
love how you did the moon!
You would have to be a very, very brave soul to camp in a tent in the winter but since bunnies live outdoors anyway, I'm guessing the bunny didn't mind. I'm cold just looking at your card but I am glad I have my flannel jammies on so I'm not to cold. I love how you used your gel pen for the snow. I have to check out Waffle Flowers to see what they have to offer. Maybe Santa will bring me something from them for Christmas? Thanks for showing us your very different and I do mean different Christmas card. I love how you made it look like Christmas but you didn't. I think you know what I mean. Camping in the snow is not something you see on a Christmas card and I am glad I got to see it. I am also glad I didn't have to actually participate in it! LOL Thanks also for giving us the chance to win something. When I win, I won't buy a tent so I can camp in the snow! LOL
What a beautiful scene you have created;!! I love it

I think the best part of this card is the snow. I love it! Great job.
Fantastic scene Stephanie. Love the cute images and the intense blue sky!
I love how you created the moon -- so bright and full and realistic! It looks very cold for camping, but then some people stay in ice hotels!!! Great job! Thanks for sharing! Merry Christmas!
