It's Tuesday which means you've got Kathi here to share a project with you!! Our theme this week is Christmas in July!
Here's my card created with the Kate Crane 007 Cling Mounted Stamp Set by Kate Crane for PaperArtsy, the Hills Acetate Stencil/Mask Set by Lavinia Stamps, and the A Gingham Christmas 8x8 Patterned Paper Pad by Creative Expressions.
Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko to stamp Santa from the Kate Crane 007 Cling Mounted Stamp Set by Kate Crane for PaperArtsy twice — once onto a piece of Mixed Media paper and once onto repositionable sticker paper. Fussy-cut the sticker paper version and place it over its counterpart on the image panel.
Place the reindeer stamp from the Kate Crane 007 Cling Mounted Stamp Set facedown on the right of Santa. Ink the stamp with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and stamp it twice — once onto the image panel and once onto repositionable sticker paper. Fussy-cut the sticker paper version and place it over its counterpart on the image panel.
Clean and dry the reindeer stamp. Reposition it facedown on Santa's left. Ink the stamp with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and stamp it twice — once onto the image panel and once onto repositionable sticker paper. Fussy-cut the sticker paper version and place it over its counterpart on the image panel.
Place the flattest of the masks from the Hills Acetate Stencil/Mask Set by Lavinia Stamps horizontally across the image panel and secure with low-tack tape and/or magnets.
Brush or sponge grey-blue dye ink over the Hills Acetate Mask and the masked images onto the image panel to create a background sky.
Use a C1 Copic marker to trace the top of the Hills Acetate Mask, Flip the mask over and move it downwards. Use the C1 marker to trace it again. Repeat this step to create more lines of snow on the background.
Remove the masks from the images and use Copic markers to color them. Use a N6 marker to increase the size of the reindeers' pupils then use a white gel pen to add highlights to them and to the reindeers' hooves. Use a black Glaze pen to color the buttons on Santa's outfit and make them shiny and dimensional.
Position the "ho, ho, ho!" sentiment stamp facedown on the image panel as shown. Ink the sentiment stamp with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko and stamp. Heat set the ink.
Add dots of Bold Stardust Clear Glittering Gelly Roll Gel Ink Pens by Sakura along the traced snow lines. Let the gel ink dry, trim the image panel, and mat with a slightly larger panel of red textured cardstock.
Cut a piece of patterned paper from the A Gingham Christmas 8x8 Patterned Paper Pad by Creative Expressions to 4" x 5.25" to create the background panel. Edge it with a R35 Copic marker and adhere it to a red A2 card.
Adhere the matted image panel to finish the card.
