Hello everyone. I’m popping in to share a simple holiday card inspired by some challenges. I used another unused (NBUS) stamp illustrated by Stacey Yacula from Purple Onion Designs (POD) called Flannel (raccoon pulling sled with gifts).
Next, used a birch tree die (retired) to die cut a DIY stencil from acetate. Masked off the top area and positioned the stencil over the image, then carefully and lightly blended SU! Smoky Slate dye ink through the stencil with a blender brush, fading out towards the image. The sentiment from POD Holiday Messages was then black heat embossed with clear embossing powder.
Mounted the panel onto a white card base, then added snow with a white gel pen to finish. Thank you for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.

You've created a wonderful winter/Christmas card, and your centerpiece is adorable. I love your colouring, and the soft shadows in the background are perfect to add depth to the CAS design. I'm sure the little guy will bring cheer to whomever will receive the presents. Thanks for joining the Alphabet challenge.

ReplyDeleteI cannot see your colored pictures. They are so perfect and polished, Trina !! I love snow falling on your card, clear in the graphics and melting on the white of the card. As if I was looking through a telescope :-)

Adorable image and I love how you colored it, Trina! Perfect with the stenciling behind and the added "snow" dots!!
ReplyDeleteThis is sooo adorable, Trina! Your Copics coloring is amazing! The subtle birch tree stenciling is just the perfect background for the raccoon pulling the sled of gifts. I wish he would be coming to my house! ;-)

Terrifically cute card. The birch tree background is a perfect fit for a darling winter scene like this. We are fortunate to have a small cluster of birches in our backyard and I could easily imagine a woodland critter or two pulling a sled past them as well. :)
