My Favorite Things - October Slimline Challenge

 





Hello!   Are you ready for a brand new Slimline Challenge at MFT Stamps?  Christmas is such a special time for so many of us, and Christmas cards are a time-honoured tradition for recognising the season and extending heartfelt wishes for a joyous holiday to our friends and family. For this month’s Slimline Challenge, the assignment is simple. We want to see your best slimline Christmas cards!

Here are the products used in my inspiration project:-


To create my card I first created a mini slimline panel and I used pale gray ink to stamp in the subtle little trees in the distance then I ink blended using Distress Ink in Speckled Egg leaving a soft white focal point in the centre.




I stamped the images from Snow Sweet and coloured the images with the following Copic marker combinations:-

Bunny - W3, W1, W00
Girl Skin - E04, E11, E21, E00
Girl Hair - E51, E42, E44
Red - E39, E29, E27, T5, T3, T1
White - C5, C3, C1, C00
Black - T6, T5, T4, T2
Snowman's Body - C5, C3, C1, C00, R000, R0000
Blushes - RV14, RV42, R11, R000

All images were die cut and adhered with foam tape with the exception of the large tree which I 'frosted' by dabbing on some Snow-Tex by DecoArt and then added some stickles glitter on top of the snow and I glued this directly to the background.

I then carefully stamped in the bird's footprints and the seed they are feeding on.

After photographing this project I actually added a tiny amount of Stickles Glitter to the background trees so that it was even more dazzling when handled.

Finally the sentiment was stamped with Versamark Ink and heat embossed in white.  This too was applied with foam tape.

Best of luck with your submissions!
