I wanted a slightly masculine feel to this card (it's all relative compared to my other cards lol). To that end I took a panel of super smooth white cardstock and ink blended using Distress Oxides and Inks in Peacock Feathers, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot.
I popped the panel in my Misti and inked up the rooftop stamp with Ranger Archival Ink in Black. I repeat stamped for the perfect solid image and used my heat tool to speed up the drying process. I snipped apart the stamp of Santa in his sleigh with one reindeer. Using a stamp positioner (so that I could both see where I was stamping and could repeat stamp) I stamped the reindeer making sure I left room for Santa in his sleigh. Each image was stamped twice for the solid black silhouette I was looking for.
I used a fine tipped white gel pen to dot in the stars (or is that snowfall .... you decide) and to highlight their fun eyes. I even applied the tiniest amount of white gel to the cat's eyes.
The panel was adhered to a black cardstock base and I made a nice writing insert inside using quality 80lb weight paper and I also stamped a sentiment in there.
I hope you have fun creating with these fun Silhouette stamps, happy crafting!
