I'd been wanting to use an older stamp set from Stamping Bella and these colors couldn't have been more perfect to use with it.
This is Quinn. She looks very stylish and cozy in her cute coat and warm boots! I used Copic markers in cool grays to color her coat, stockings and to add shading, including on the ground so she didn't look like she was floating in air lol! The red markers are more of a tomato red mix and worked well with the poppy cardstock used for the layering arch. A white gel pen was used to add polka dots to her scarf, but it looked so bright white that I chose to lessen the effect by coloring over them with a light red marker.
I used a piece of gray snowflake patterned paper from the Honey Bee Stamps North Pole paper pad (it came out last year but it's still available), cut it with an arch die, then layered that over the poppy cardstock cut with the next smaller arch die. Two additional layers were added under that for a bit of dimension before adhering to the card base.
The sentiment is from the same stamp set and was die cut with a small circle die. The final touches were to add Star Dust Stickles to the hat pompom and head band, along with the tops of her boots, plus a few HBS Aurora Borealis gems. In person, the sparkle is amazing but of course, it is difficult to capture in a photo.
I hope you'll have an opportunity to play along with us this round. These colors provide a wide range of options, as shown here by my talented teammates and our wonderful Guest Designers Lisa and Barb. The challenge will stay open until 9 am Wednesday, January 14th. I hope to see your card in the gallery!
Thanks for visiting!
