Merry Christmas

 




 
Today's card was created for the Jingle Belles and Addicted To Stamps And More card challenges. To create my card I stamped the snowy background onto some white cardstock using Versamark ink and a Christmas background stamp from Recollections. I heat embossed it using Ranger white detail embossing powder. Once dried I inked the background using a round blender tool and Ranger inks in mermaid lagoon, faded jeans, and black soot. I spritzed the panel with water to create a little mottling in the background colors. I then stamped the adorable snowman with his big heart onto some white Copic-friendly cardstock using the My Favorite Things Heart Snowman stamp and Memento tuxedo black ink. I stamped the sentiment from Crate Papers Snow and Cocoa mini stamp set at the bottom and then fussy cut the entire image out. I then mounted it directly to my background and finished the card off with some white gel details on the snowman. Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Hope you and yours are staying warm and safe!

I just love this card Celeste! The background is wonderful and I love the way your snowman and the ground all blend into one - just like a real snowman! The heart is coloured beautifully and looks wonderfully shiny and dimensional. Vicky x
