I decided to have some fun with this challenge and created an A7 card with lots of cute critters wearing hats.
I couldn't have had a more perfect stamp and die set in my stash that the Christmas Hats one from Colorado Craft Company and illustrated by Anita Jeram. After coloring all the critters with Copic markers, they were die cut along with the trees in the background.
The next step was to create the background. On an A7 panel, I ink blended Simon Says Stamp Galaxy for the sky, then added a panel of snowy hills that I hand cut from a panel of white. Before adhering to the panel, I used a light blue ink both on the base of the piece and at the top of the hills, then glued it down. The trees were die cut from dark green cardstock, then I used a dark brown Copic marker to color the trunks before adding to the background. Next, the sentiment was white heat embossed, then the critters were adhered either with glue or foam tape. Before adding to the card base, I sprayed the panel with shimmer spray then added "snow" with white paint.
Thanks for stopping by and I do hope you'll join us this month for this fun challenge! In the meantime, please take a moment to visit the challenge blog, where my talented teammates have lots of inspiration for you.
Take care!
