Guest Designer for CAS on Friday Challenge #271 - Christmas

Hello everyone.  I’m delighted to be guest designing (GD) at CAS on Friday (CASF) this fortnight for their CHRISTMAS challenge.


The snowman image (retired Clearly Besotted Christmas Characters stamp set) was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink in the middle of an A2 size alcohol marker friendly cardstock panel.  Masked it and the snowy ground using torn printer paper, then ink blended Picked Raspberry and Seedless Preserves distress inks for the background.


Coloured the image/scene in using the following Copic Sketch markers:

pinks - RV10/63/55 
hat - C4/6/9 
shading - C00/0/1/2 + 0  colorless blender
highlights - white gel pen 

The sentiment (retired My Favorite Things Itty Bitty Holiday Wishes stamp set) was stamped with Seedless Preserves distress oxide ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  Adhered the panel onto a white card base, then added a few shiny snowflake sequins to finish.


I want to thank Janneke and the CASF team for this GD opportunity.  For more inspirations from them and/or link up your own CAS Christmas card, click HERE.  Thank you for stopping by.
