Here we go!  Dashing through the snow…this cute little elf is taking a break from all the toy making.  That’s another card coming soon…these cute little elves in the toy shop! 😀 Memory Box and poppystamps have the best tree dies out there!

I die cut a white panel with the next largest Rectangle Basics die then die cut the new Stitched Circle Trees die in the panel.

I sprayed the white die cut panel with Sparkle Shimmer Spray…love this stuff…well, it’s a toss up between the Sparkle and Frost… I love them both.  Just got the Sparkle! lol  The Frost is more ‘clear-ish’ and the Sparkle has a teeny tiny bit of metallic to it.  Both are perfect for Winter cards!

On the white card-base, I ink blended some Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink with the mini ink blending tool for the sky.  Then dropped water droplets on by spraying water in the palm of my hand, rubbing my hands together and clapping over where I want the water.  Then I diluted a little white acrylic paint and spattered on some white drops.

I die cut two of the Tall Pine die in white card-stock being sure to keep the little waste pieces in the tree on one because I wanted the white to show through. Then I colored one with Copic Sketch Markers, YG63, 67 and G99. I glued the colored one over the white one and put mounting tape on the back,  cut to fit down the center and behind the little bits of snow left in the tree. I spattered it a little with the white acrylic paint too.

I stamped and die cut the little elf and two trees from the Playtime Elves sets. I like to color after I die cut.  The images are colored with Copic Sketch Markers. A little white gel pen on his hat and cheeks.

I stamped the panel with the sentiments from the Dashing With Reindeer stamp set and the inside with ‘and a happy New Year (from the same set).

Then I thought the new Snowflake Wire die would be fun in the scene too, so I cut it in white card-stock and glued it on the panel, kind of a sledding trail. I had to go buy that die after seeing Sherry Hester’s card using it with the new poinsettia. 😀

Time to layer everything on the card-base…I used mounting tape on the back of the panel, adhered that to the card-base. Glued the two green trees behind the Stitched Circle trees.  Mounted the elf and the tree with mounting tape. I broke down and bought the big roll of ¾ inch wide from SLS.  I think I’ll write inside the roll the month and year and see how long it lasts! lol

Entering some challenges…

Hi everyone!  Here to share this sweet little scene using the NEW Dashing With Reindeer stamp and die set from Memory Box.  Snow always looks so beautiful…too bad it’s usually cold too! hoho

I had fun inking a Distress Oxide Salty Ocean sky with the ink blending tool and then spattering with water and soaking it up with a paper towel.

TIP: I like to spray water in the palm of my hand, rub my hands together and then clap over where I want it, to get the small size dots. I do that a few times.

I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and the MISTI, then die cut the images with the Big Shot, then colored with Copic Sketch Markers.  I don’t like to color first…cuz of the chance of messing up the die cutting.

TIP: If you don’t like handling that small of a piece…tack it with repositionable tape to a larger piece of card-stock so it doesn’t seem so fiddly while you’re coloring!  😀

I die cut the longest NEW Straight Slider Grooves die in the bottom snow bank that was cut with the NEW Stitched Curves die. I used a one of the other Stitched Curves dies for the snow bank behind.

Then the Quiet Cabin Landscape die in the background and the Fresh Pine Trio dies at the ends of the slider.

For Santa’s beard I drew squiggly lines with the white gel pen. The white parts of his hat are white dots with the white gel pen.  I do a layer of dots, let them dry, then do another layer of dots.

Rudolph’s nose is a tiny white pearl that I colored with a Copic Sketch Marker R89.

I stuck Santa and his reindeer on a piece of acetate so they’d slide together in the groove… yes, they are wireless reindeer!  Remote Controlled today! hohoho
