My Favorite Things - April Ready, Set, Christmas Challenge

 

Hello!  Welcome to my blog where today I'm sharing my inspiration card for MFT's April Ready, Set, Christmas Challenge.  My card uses the following MFT products:-

Bright Holidays Stamps

Bright Holiday Die-namics

A2 Rectangle Frames Die-namics

Winter Trees Die-namics

Stitched Snow Drifts Die-namics

Bitty Holiday Wishes Stamps

Christmas Text 6 x 6 Paper Pad

I created an A2 panel using the paper pad, selecting a deep green shade and applied this to my card base.  Over this I layered white die-cuts using the Winter Trees Die-namics, then the Snow Drifts and finally I die cut the largest from the Rectangles die set - I die cut this twice.  I glued down the trees, trimming them to size with the frames which I glued together and down on to the background.  I then created the snowy ground with a hint of ink blending in a toning green which I distressed with a little splattered water then glued in place.

Next, I turned my attention to stamping and colouring the sweet girl from Bright Holidays.  Here are the Copic colours I used:-

Skin - E33, E11, E21, E00

Hair - E50, E87, E44, E42, E31

Christmas Tree Dress - G28, G46, YG45

Baubles and Boots - R59, R39, R29, R27, R05

White Sleeves - C3, C1, C0, C00

Blush - R21, R20, R00

I die cut using the coordinating die-namics and then used dimensional foam tape to adhere her to the background.

To finish up I used Stickles Glitter in Silver and white Nuvo drops to add little bauble drops to the points on her dress, also more silver to the star on her head and  I used a white gel pen to highlight one or two areas.

Finally, I stamped and heat embossed the white sentiment on red cardstock and also applied this with foam tape to keep up with the dimension.
