Hello crafters, it’s Tina and I have another cute holiday card for you! This time we are creating an oval design with the sweet images from the Alpaca Holiday stamp and die set.
To create an oval shaped card base from white card stock, I folded the paper in two and used the largest die from Stitched Ovals. You just have to make sure to place the die higher than the fold line from the card stock, that way it will not cut through.
I wanted to have a fun frame for my
scene, so I opted for the largest of the Scalloped Oval Mat 1 dies combined with a smaller die from the Stitched Ovals. These sets work great together. My paper was a sheet
of teal from the Polka-dot Parade pack. To give this frame a more distressed look I
went in with a blending brush and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide.
To build the scene I needed three
more pieces of white card stock in an oval shape (Stitched Ovals), two for the snow banks and one for my sky (also
inked with Salvaged Patina and sprinkled with splatters of white paint to mimic
the snow).
From the Alpaca Holiday stamp, I selected three cuties and the mountain range (twice). I colored my images in pink, brown and teal Copics colors. Then it was time to build the scene layer by layer, starting with the sky and adding the two snow banks (cut with a die from my stash). Next, I added the two mountain ranges tucked in behind the snow. I used the second piece to strategically place the hills, doing some cutting with my scissors were needed. Then, I could add the frame and the sweet alpacas.
For oval designs, I love to work with a banner (Brilliant Banners 2), because it has that perfect rounded shape. My sentiment was taken from the Inside Greetings Holiday set and stamped in a pink ink from my stash. As embellishments, I glued three small snowflakes (Snowflake Circle Frame die) across the sky, adorning each of them with an Iridescent Jewel. For this winter scene, I added lots of snowy dots with my white gel pen!
I hope you got inspired by these cute alpacas for your holiday cards! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!
