Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm back with this cute holiday card featuring Santa, Rudolph and his reindeer friends. They're busy delivering presents to everyone who's been nice this year, and for the first time, Santa's sleigh stays in the garage, and the little gang is travelling the world in a Christmas van. How fun!
I started off by stamping all the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and my Graph'it brush markers in my favorite holiday color palette, which is red, pink, aqua and green.
Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Beach Bus - van • Lazy Christmas - presents • Snowmen In Sweaters - trees, snowflakes • Holiday Express - Rudolph • Fall Friends - reindeers • North Pole - Santa, nice list • Panda Party - banner • Scenic Route - houses • Winter Scenes - trees.
I set my images aside, and cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel that I divided in two sections using washi tape: the sky at the top, and snow at the bottom. I colored the sky using kitsch flamingo and picked raspberry oxide inks, and the snow using salvaged patina and peacock feathers oxide inks. As always I added lots of textures to my panel, starting with water droplets on the sky. I also mixed some picked raspberry oxide ink with water, and added more splatters to the sky. I mixed some peacock feathers oxide ink with water, and added splatters to the snow section. Next I mixed some copic opaque white ink with water and added splatters all over the panel, and then I did the same with liquid stardust.
Once my panel was dry, I attached all the images on my panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, added highlights and details using a white gelly roll pen, and then moved on to my greeting that I created using Brilliant Banner 3 dies. I cut the two main pieces out of light pink cardstock, and white heat embossed "You're on my nice list" from North Pole on the front piece. I layered both pieces on top of each other using 1mm foam squares, and for an extra shiny detail, I cut another banner out of holographic cardstock, stuck it behind my pink banner using liquid glue, and finally attached the completed banner in the top part of my panel using foam squares again.
And that's it! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!
