Are We There Yet?

We are not really having what is considered a "normal" winter where I live. We usually have a ton of snow by now but we really don't have much to speak of. 
It makes it kind of challenging for the little ones who like tobagganing! 

The stamp I have used on my card today reminds me of my younger days when the neighbours came over and we tobogganed all day. We had the best hill right beside our house so we didn't have to go far. 
These three friends bring back some fun memories and we may or may not have had a couple times where one of us was the beaver on this fun stamp! <smile>

I coloured this fun stamp with alcohol markers and hand fussy cut it leaving a thin white edge. I set it aside and created my background using a birch tree background die and some birch tree patterned paper. The die is sized to fit an A2 size card so the trees on the main card base are actually cut apart from the finished die cut. I used a wavy edge die to create my snow hill and inked all of the paper and tree edges with antique linen distress ink. I added some fun glitter paper snow flakes (hard to see in the photo) cut out with a punch and added some matching sparkly ribbon to finish off my card.

Toboggan Joyride

Hello High Hopes Fans!!!

 

Happy Saturday Friends!  I have another Christmas/Winter card to share with you today... Hopefully this helps to inspire you to start those festive cards!

 Lisa

 

This is Toboggan Joyride (S071) and Bold Seasons Greetings sentiment (H044).  Such a cute image, with these little fellas having some fun flying down the slope!!!  

 

The image was stamped on Xpress It cardstock with a Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad using my Misti Stamping Tool.  The image was coloured with Copic Markers.

 

For the card base, I chose some SU Kraft cardstock, along with a piece of SU Not Quite Navy cardstock for layering.  The designer paper is from Bo Bunny-Whiteout Collection 6x6 Paper Pad.  The image was fussy cut out with a tiny border, in order to avoid some difficult to reach areas.  White cardstock was ripped to form a snow hill then spritzed with some Prima Frost White Shimmer Spray.  It's a bit difficult to see the glitter on the snow in this pic, but in real life it is quite sparkly.  The entire scene was die cut using a YNS die called Stitched Rectangles.  The navy layering piece was also cut with the next size larger die in the same set.  Foam tape was applied to adhere the main image to add some dimension.  To stamp the sentiment, a SU Not Quite Navy Ink Pad was used to coordinate with the cardstock. 

 

To complete this card, a couple strans of twine ribbon tied in a bow was added at the top of the card, along with two YNS Sparkly Navy Blue gumdrops.  Such a fun card to make!
