Greetings. It's Tuesday so you've got Kathi to share a project with you today. This week is an "Anything Goes" and since the Holidays are approaching, I've created a holiday card with Lavinia Stamps' Shanty Fairy House Clear Polymer Stamp Set, the Icicles Clear Polymer Stamp, the Snowflakes Clear Polymer Stamp Set, and the Christmas Greetings Clear Polymer Stamp Set.
Here it is!
The Shanty Fairy House Clear Polymer Stamp Set by Lavinia Stamps was stamped twice with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko — once onto a white cardstock panel and once onto repositionable sticker paper.
The image was colored with Copic markers, the the sticker paper version of the Shanty Fairy House was fussy-cut and placed over its counterpart on the image panel.
The flattest mask from the Hills Acetate Mask Set by Lavinia Stamps was placed under the house as a mask. Della Blue Elements Ink by Lavinia Stamps was brushed over the acetate mask and the masked Shanty Fairy House to add a blue background. The acetate hills mask was lifted and the base of the image panel was colored with Copic markers.
Using a stamping platform, the Icicles Clear Polymer Stamp by Lavinia Stamps was placed at the top left of the image panel, then stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko. With the Icicles Clear Polymer Stamp stationary on the platform's lid, the image panel was shifted along the base of the platform, the stamp was re-inked, and the second set of Icicles was stamped. This process was repeated until I had a row of Icicles along the top of the image panel.
A clear embossing pen was used to fill in the Icicles, clear detail embossing powder was added, the excess powder was removed, and the Icicles were heat set. I added additional layers with the embossing pen and the powder to build up the dimension and shine of the icicles.
The clear embossing pen was used to add embossing ink to the roof of the house, the top of the window, the eaves, and the top of the stone door frame. White detail embossing powder was added, then heat set. I thought the white looked a bit flat, so I went over the embossed areas with the embossing pen, added white glittery embossing powder, and heat set that. The ground received the same treatment with the clear embossing pen and the white glittery embossing powder.
Morning Mist VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko was used to randomly stamp the snowflake trio stamp from the Snowflakes Clear Polymer Stamp Set by Lavinia Stamps. A white paint pen was used to add snowflakes to the entire image panel.
Morning Mist VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko was used to stamp the "Seasons Greetings" sentiment from the Christmas Greetings Clear Polymer Stamp Set by Lavinia Stamps onto patterned paper that seemed to match. The sentiment was cut with a banner die.
Grey patterned cardstock from my stash was cut with an A2 scalloped frame die, which was used to frame the image panel. The frame/image panel combo was added to an A2 card made from the same cardstock.
The sentiment die-cut was folded and adhered to the card to finish it up.
