Jolly Bianca

Hello everyone.  I’m popping in quickly to share another CAS (clean and simple) Christmas card.  The process to create it was the same as my Fido winter scene card HERE.  I’m slowly working my way through new/unused stamps from Purple Onion Designs and chose Bianca and Neve (Snowman with Winter Bird) stamp for my card.  

everyone

The image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a stitched rectangle panel die cut from Xpress It cardstock, then coloured with Copic Sketch markers. 

Blues - B39, B37, B34, B32 
Pink - RV00 (cheeks)
Browns - E23, E21, E04, E02 
Grays - C1, C0, C00 


Stamped the image again on masking paper and fussy cut out to create a mask.  Covered the image with the mask, then ink blended Spun Sugar distress ink with a blender brush for the background.  The sentiment from My Favorite Things Bitty Holiday Wishes was black heat embossed with clear glitter embossing powder.  Dotted her cheeks and added snow on the ground with a white gel pen to finish.

Another adorable CAS Christmas card, Trina! With your magic hands, it seems that any stamped image looks much cuter and livelier than the original. And you're great at making Christmas cards using non-traditional colors. This is no exception!

Such a happy winter card, Trina. I love your snowman as always brilliantly colored and your pink background looks so amazing. Like a winter dawn when the sky turns pink from the first rays of the sun.
Thank you for adding this amazing card to our HLS CAS gallery.

Absolute stamped and coloured perfection!

This darling wintertime greeting is cuter than cute and made me smile more than I have in at least a few days upon seeing it (thank you deeply for that, my friend!).
