Christmas Village

made this for the Splitcoaststampers Fan Club February Christmas Challenge! I’m part of the challenge team again this year & the bonus is I’ll have a bunch of Christmas cards finished in plenty of time for Christmas this year. You’ll need to be Fan Club member but that’s easy…just click the blue link to find out how. Bet you’re wondering what the challenge theme is..I’d love to tell you but you’ll have to go see for yourself.
This stamp kind of takes the guess work out of placing the images. It’s all one big scene. All you have to decide is what colors to use. Since it has a lot of white snowy areas, I went w/ a fairly bright blue & red. After I colored it, I used a Versamark pen to go over some of the snow & heat embossed it w/ a clear, sparkly powder. For the blue layer, I colored it w/ the same blue Copics then stamped the snowy bg w/ white ink & heat embossed it w/ the same powder

Here’s the inside & Copic colors.

A wonderful site for the Inspiration Challenge! There were many I loved but I was really drawn to THIS. I love the white snowflakes on the deep red background.

My card was pretty easy..I started by white embossing the snowflake onto red card stock then I sponged around the edges w/ Distress inks in various dark reds & finally a little black on the very edges.

I also used the Reverse Snowflake die to die cut some white snowflakes & popped them up a little on top.

Here’s a look at the inside.

Such a wonderful inspiration site Stacy chose! I’m sure a lot of people are familiar w/ Shutterstock..they have so many fabulous photos & clip art. I was inspired by THIS picture. I started w/ a new set from North Coast Creations w/ cute little critters & my card just evolved into what you see.

After stamping & coloring the polar bear family, I added a stitched circle frame then a stitched rectangle frame w/ a smaller stitched rectangle window on top of it. I die cut some white & snowflake paper hills, added them to the bottom & then attached my little fussy cut penguin. The greeting was die cut & colored w/ Copics as well as the narrow blue frame around everything.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used. For the snowflakes, I punched some different sized snowflakes in a piece of scrap paper & used it as a stencil to sponge on the ink
