Hello friends! I'm so thrilled to share that I am the guest designer for Time Out Challenges for the next fortnight! My card here was chosen as the winner of TOC #296.
For this challenge, we are to create a card for our favorite holiday to celebrate. I chose Christmas because I think I'm still a kid at heart, loving all sparkle, decorations and family gatherings.
We look forward to seeing which holiday your favorite is to celebrate!
Challenge #301 is sponsored by Angie Blom Digital Designs. The challenge winner as chosen by the Design Team will receive a $25.00 store credit. The winner will also receive an invitation to join them as Guest Designer for a future challenge.
I once again decided to use one of the sweet Bundle Girl images from Stamping Bella for my card. This time she's sending correspondence to Santa. I wonder, what could it be?
I started with a panel of white that had been cut with a Postage Edge die. Next the image was stamped on the panel, then stamped again on a piece of Gina K Masking Magic. From different piece of masking paper I cut a small hillside to mask off the horizon line while I ink blended the sky.
With the ink blending done, the masks came off and I used Copic markers to color everything. White polka dots were added to her scarf, then I went over them in the shaded areas with my mid-tone red marker. The sentiment was then stamped on the card panel.
The last step was to use Glossy Accents for adding dots to the sky and squiggles to the snow, then cover them with Distress Clear Rock Candy Glitter. I know it doesn't usually snow on a clear day, but I did create a few clouds in the sky. Plus, I've been skiing many a time when we'd get a little light snow shower in the midst of an otherwise nice day on the slopes. So that's what I imagined for this scene, plus it was a fun excuse to add more glitter!
As I was writing this post, I realized I forgot to add "snow" to the mailbox. That will be remedied before sending.
Thanks for taking time to stop by! I hope you'll take time to play along with the lovely crew at Time Out Challenge - share what you love to celebrate!
Take care!
