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!
