Now to the details for my card today.  I have used the new Baby Fawn stamp set in combination with the formerly released Postage Stamp Edge Frames Die.  I took a panel of white cardstock and I masked a line and ink blended above it using Distress Oxide Inks in Spun Sugar and Black Soot.  I removed the mask and used the Postage Stamp Edge Die to die cut the panel.  I adhered the outer cut/frame to my card base and I backed the centre cut with white craft foam and carefully aligned and adhered it.  I used a stylus dipped in white acrylic paint to create the falling snow and I set this to one side to dry for a few minutes.

I stamped the utterly adorable images from Baby Fawn and coloured them with the following Copic marker combinations:-

Fawns - E49, E44, E43, E42, E41, E40

Blush - R22, R21, R20, R00

Red Noses - R27, R05

Santa Hat - R27, R05, R22, C3, C1, C0

Scarf - R27, R05, R22, C5, C3, C0

Trees - C5, C1, RV000

The images were then fussy cut and applied to the background using dimensional foam tape.

To complete the card, I popped it in my Misti and stamped the pretty sentiment, then I highlighted points with a white gel pen.

I came in with Copic markers C5, C3, C1, C00 to add shadow underneath the Fawns and last but not least I used Stickles Glitter in 'Diamond' to glitter up the trees and the shadows under the Fawns.

I hope you like my card, thanks for stopping off on the hop and don't forget to leave your comment below in order to be entered to win a $25 gift card.

Simon Says Stamp - Happy Camper Release

 

Hello and welcome to my blog and a brand new release from Simon Says Stamp.  This is the Happy Camper release and you use THIS LINK to take you to their website and view the entire collection.

My first card for this release features the Jenoblade illustrated stamp set called 'Cute Campers' together with the 'Simple Stars Stencil'.  I have also incorporated the use of the always useful 'Postage Stamp Edge Frames Die'.

I used the stencil on white cardstock and used blue ink and then used the stencil again on blue cardstock and used white pigment ink to create the background panels.

I used the Postage Stamp Edge Frames Die to die cut the blue panel and I also used the same size die to cut a kraft panel to ground the scene I was about to create.

I stamped the 'Cute Campers' images with black ink and coloured the images with Copic markers.  I used a white gel pen to add blooms to the shrubs behind the campground and to decorate the scarf along with other highlights.  Images were fussy cut and applied with foam tape.  The decorative panel was backed with white craft foam and applied to the white/blue star panel.

I stamped and applied the sentiment strip and with that this sweet card was complete.
