Hello and Merry Christmas Friends! This is my entry for the current Craft Roulette Challenge - #298. If there ever was a stamp that was perfect for a challenge, it is this one by Trinity Stamps called Snow Stacks.
This weeks parameters are:
- Project - A6
- Element - Rhymes with "acks".
- Colors: Gummy Bears
- Random - Tearing
For the background on this card, I used Distress Oxide Inks in Tumbled Glass, Broken China and Mermaid Lagoon. For the ground area at the bottom of the card, I masked off about and inch from the bottom before I did my inking. Once that was dry, I used the Trinity Stamps Snowfall Stencil with white pigment ink to create light snowflakes.
For the "tearing" element, I used a deckle edge die to cut out omy background. I used the enclosed sentiment and snowflakes to decorate my trimmed background. I heat embossed the snowflakes with white embossing powder and inked the sentiment with Momento Tuxedo Black Ink.
To color in my snowman stack, I used Copic markers in the following colors:
- B00, BV31 - Snowmen Bodies
- R14, R24, R29 - Reds
- Y00, Y02, Y08 - Yellows
- YG13, YG06, YG17 - Greens
- RV21, RV04, RV06, RV17 - Pink
- C1, C3, C5 - Gray
- Y23, Y17, YR18 - Orange
- B00, B02, BG05 - Blue
I used the Snow Stack Coordinating die to cut out my colored image. I did fill in the voids and outside edges with markers to help it blend into the background. I don't usually do this, but I really felt like there was enough open area that it would make a difference. I used 1 mm. foam squares to pop up my stack to give my card a little dimension.
I glued my inked background with the image on the upper part of my pink background paper cut to the A6 size, which is 6.5" x 4.25. I added a little bit of twine with a bow at the bottom to balance everything out.
For the inside of the card, I used one of the sentiments to finish it up.
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you are having a lovely holiday season.
Sandy
