A monochromatic Christmas card using all kraft with a white embossed greeting and falling snow and white highlights for the snow on the tiny village.
x5! x2!

A big congrats to the newest Featured Stamper, DragonLady64! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the colors & layout, but used different dies, made mine a little village & added a white embossed greeting.

For my card, I die cut all the trees & village out of kraft then added white behind the houses & church. I used a white gel pen to add the snow on the trees & sponged white ink on the house & hills. The background was white embossed w/ little dots for the falling snow & I elevated the hills & houses a bit for dimension. It looked like such a peaceful scene, I thought the greeting was perfect.

The white frame is part of the polaroid die. I put it in the die cutter, cut half way, the turned the die around, matching the opening, and die cut the rest of the way.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

All is Calm

A monochromatic winter scene Christmas card, all stamped on one layer and parts of the scene were cut into the window and a piece of hand marbled paper inserted inside, with the greeting & a Christmas star stamped on top.

For the Inspiration Challenge (IC936), we are visiting the Christmas Shop & their Pinterest Board where I chose THIS picture for my inspiration.

For my little winter scene, I stamped the trees onto a white panel, using denim ink. On the lighter trees, I stamped the image off once before stamping it onto the card stock. The darker trees were stamped twice (using the Misti) w/ the same ink, full strength. I wanted the deer a little darker so I used Versaclair medieval blue. I used my into the window die cutting technique to cut the opening in the scene. The framed scene part was spritzed w/ some white shimmer spray & I added a little more “snow” w/ a white Posca pen. The outside frame was popped up then I inserted a piece of hand marbled paper w/ the greeting & Christmas star stamped on top of it.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Navy Leaf Birthday

Posted on July 25, 2020 12:10 AM by Julie 1 Comment

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge, we’re headed to a wallpaper site. I was really drawn to several blue & white pictures & finally settled on THIS picture.

For the bg, instead of the usual coloring in of the leaves, I only filled in the bg areas using a very dk navy Copic. I used a lt grey to add a little something extra in a few spots. The large leaf was fussy cut, popped up & added to a circle stitch frame w/ a piece of vellum behind it.

p.s. Have y’all checked out the new Rubbernecker Stamps release of Slimline dies? They are awesome & selling out fast! Click on any of the pics to take you to that die.
