Rockin’ the carols this morning cardmakers! lol This cute trio is from the new set for STAMPtember from Simon Says Stamp. Oh what fun!
I stamped with the new Tim Holtz Stamp Platform and Memento Tuxedo Black ink, cut them out with the Scan and Cut 350 then colored them with Copic Sketch Markers. The kitty is the YR20 series… the bear is the E40 series and the bunny the T gray series. The bear’s jeans are the B90’s, his sweater is R46 and R89, the sweater trim is BG45 and 49 and the green in the sweater is YG03 and 17. The bunny’s scarf is the YG0 series and the coat is R46 and R89 again. The kitty’s dress is the YG0 series too. The birdie is BG45 and 49 again.
The sky is Distress Oxide Salty Ocean applied with the mini ink blending tool and spattered with some water drops that I heat set with the heat tool. I didn’t dab up the water.
The sentiment is from the same set. I stamped with the TH platform using Versafine Black Onyx ink.
The snowy background pieces are die cut with the SSS Stitched Slopes and Hills dies.
I trimmed the background and the snow borders to 4 in. x 5 ¼ in., adhered the sky and back border flat to the card base and mounted the front snow border with 3L mounting squares. The characters are mounted with foam squares also. The bunny with thin ones, the bear and kitty with regular ones.
Then I stamped on the music notes using an acrylic block. I still need to put a sentiment inside. I always procrastinate stamping the inside. ugh. I’m always sorry when I go to sending the cards out too! lol
I’m hoping to spend the day making cards! Lots of NEW from Memory Box/poppystamps and NEW from Printworks too!
Thank you for stopping by and oh, I didn’t use a wobble after-all. They looked funny stuck out too far. oh well, maybe if I’d just used the bear…
ttul!
