Here's my card.
This was pretty straightforward. The Gerda Steiner Designs Peeking Friends elf and gift (retired) were stamped with Copic friendly black ink on a scrap of X-press It cardstock, coloured with Copics then fussy cut out. This was easier than trying to mask.
I was planning to create my card on a white panel, but then saw this Krat pinked edge one in my stash. To ground my image, I masked and added Kraft ink with a sponge dauber to create the floor. The sentiment (retired) was white heat embossed on a black strip to finish.

ReplyDeleteLove the little elf jumping out of the box! Wonderful shading on the ribbon and blue (and of course, it's a gorgeous shade of blue!). Good idea to use the kraft background as it makes a nice contrast against the card base.

ReplyDeleteThis is so adorable, Trina! And you did it again - combining stamp sets and using them creatively! Fantastic fussy-cutting of the elf and the gift box! The Kraft pinked panel adds cuteness and the color goes perfectly with the red of elf's hat & clothes. The light shadowing on the gift box is amazing!
