I chose the right column (autumn colors - enamel dots/gems - ink blending). Brown, red, orange and yellow are colours that I associate most with autumn, and since I love making non-traditional colour Christmas cards, I used these colours with the adorable Very Mice Christmas stamp from Whimsy Stamps to create this CAS (clean and simple) Christmas card.
The image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on alcohol marker friendly cardstock and on masking paper. Fussy cut the image on masking paper out then masked the other image. Hand cut a snowbank mask from removable labelling tape then masked the ground. Using blender brushes, ink blended Spiced Marmalade and Mustard Seed distress inks for the sky. Splattered with water and blot with a paper towel to give it a bit of texture.
Removed the masks and coloured the image/scene in with Copic Sketch markers. Stamped the sentiment in black, then added softly falling snow with a white gel pen and a few sparkly yellow enamel dots to finish.
I would like to thank Felicita and the TTTC team for this GD opportunity. For inspirations from the design team, click HERE. Hope you can play along. Thank you for stopping by.
