First of all I created an A2 panel from Bristol Smooth cardstock by die cutting it with a simple edging die for the faux stitched edge affect which just makes it look 'finished'. I ink blended it using Distress Oxide Ink in Broken China and then splashed it with water and blotted it up for a snowy affect. I then die cut the mountains from white cardstock using Hello Bluebird's new Glacier Peaks die. The glacier peak pieces were ink blended with a little more of the Broken China Distress Oxide Ink and adhered. I die cut the mountains to match the stitched edge of the background panel.
Using Hello Bluebird's 'Christmas Words' die I die cut 'falala' about 4 or 5 times and adhered each to the next to form a stack and then glued it in place. I stamped the rest of the sentiment in Ranger Archival Ink in 'Coffee' and adhered that strip with foam tape.
On more Bristol Smooth cardstock I stamped my images with Ranger Archival Ink in 'Coffee' and watercolour painted them using Kuretake Zigs. I added Wink of Stella to several areas for a pretty twinkle when the card is moved (tis the season for twinkle after all)!! I die cut the images using the coordinating dies for Yeti Or Not and used more foam tape to adhere them.
I decided my friendly Yeti was feeling so festive he had decorated the mountain tops with Christmas lights which delighted the little reindeer friends ... I like my cards to tell a little story wherever possible.
Hope you like the card and you feel inspired. Happy crafting!
