Marleen DT - Stiched Friends in the snow.

Hello Everyone
and welcome to my blog.

Today I want to share a quick little card I made with stamps from Colourific.
Annelies have a great selection of stamps in the STORE, but the "Stitched Friends" are one of my favourite sets.. I have also used the "Christmas Minis" set for my card today.

For this little card I started by making a background of snow. Its made by simply tearing a piece of copy paper into something that resembles mountains. Then simply swipe your blending tool, starting on the paper and out onto your card, so you build up colour. Move the paper around and repeat till you get the desired effect.

I used the "Spotty Background" stamp to create the snowfall on the background. I simply stamped with versamark ink and set with white embossing powder.

My little stitched snowman is stamped and coloured with watercolour pencils on to water colour card stock, as is my little robin.
The candy cane I stamped with red distress ink and just dragged a bit of the stamped colour around.

I added them all to my snow background with foam tape, mounted the background at an angle on to my mat and then stuck to my card.

And that is all from me for today.

Thank you for popping by and for any comments left behind.

DT Marleen - A snowy scene

Hello Everyone
and welcome to my blog.

For this weeks Colourific Inspiration I have gone all snowy.
In honest, I'm an autumn baby so October and November are my favourite months.. but you cant beat a bit of snow lol

For this weeks project I used a selection of colourific stamps, you can find them all in the STORE.

Ive used:
Sentiment (from the Christmas minis set)
Snowman (from the stitched Friends set)
Snow background (the Spotty background stamp)
Robin (from the Christmas Minis set)
Candy cane (from the Santa's Sleigh set)

 For this card I made a snowy background by first stamping my spotty background stamp, using versamark ink, and heat setting with clear embossing powder.

I then made a hill stencil from a piece of copy paper and used distress ink to create the hills.
I stamped, coloured and fuzzy cut my snowman, candy cane and robin and added them all on foam pads.
I stamped and die cut my sentiment and die cut a few Christmas trees to finish the card.

And that is all from me for today.
