Joy!

Hi!

Well the Christmas rush is over and I hope everyone experienced the best the holiday had to offer! We had a very relaxing and quiet Christmas here at our house. Today I wanted to share one last Christmas card with you. It's already been sent off and hopefully my Aunt will love it as much as I do! This is the adorable "Snowman Sled" from High Hopes Stamps.

I started by stamping "Snowman Sled" onto Copic friendly paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Next using my Copic Sketch markers, I coloured it to match the papers from the Moda Scraps "Sweet Christmas" 6x6 collection. I used a Gina Marie Loopey Square die to cut out the image. Using Tim Holtz distress ink in Vintage Photo, I inked all the edges of my papers to add some dimension. A few enamel dots and some snowflake die cuts finish off my card today.

I decided to put the sentiment "Seasons Greetings" also from High Hopes on the inside. I added some more die cut snowflakes for added interest.

Copics Used:

Snowman: C00, C1/ YR04, YR09/ W7, W8, W9

Sled: W1, W3, W5, W7, W8, W9

Happy Holidays Sled

  Winter is here and Christmas is just around the corner and that means there are lots of Christmas and winter decorations popping up on front lawns, porches and houses. 

Snowman Sled from the Woodland Winter release reminds me of some of the gorgeous decorations I see in my travels to and from work. My drive is very rural but some of the small towns I pass through have some gorgeous decorations. This stamp reminds me of some the "country" feel decorations I see and that is what inspired my card design. This re release is full of fun winter stamps and perfect for Christmas, winter and winter birthday cards! You can see the full release here 

                                                             

After stamping this cutie with Tuxedo Black Memento ink, I coloured him with Copic markers and hand fussy cut him leaving a thin white edge. It is hard to see in the picture but there is clear Spectrum Sparkle pen added to the berry branches. 

I mixed some patterned paper from Echo Park and Whimsy Stamps to help create my country feel back ground. The plaid paper is cut out using a pleated lace rectangle die to add some interest to my card.  I edged all of the paper edges with walnut stain distress ink and glued them down on my A2 size card base. Next I stamped the sentiment, inked the edges and added it to matching card stock.

I added some cotton ribbon from my stash and some die cut berries, I think they match the stamp pretty well. I added the stamped image with foam pop dots  and finished off the card with enamel dots.
