Hi everyone, just sharing another Christmas card that I made in December. This is also for the December 2023 Christmas Card Challenge here on SCS - where the theme is: Your Beautiful Cards. Please see this link for the details on the Challenge ---> December 2023 Christmas Card Challenge by annsforte3 at Splitcoaststampers
This is essentially a CASE of Karen Telfer's card from the Lavinia Stamps YouTube Channel. I did add some of my own touches to it so it isn't exactly the same & this card uses different ink colours. It was really just trying something new to see how it worked out when someone else has already done the hard work and I am not feeling confident. I have no connection to the company.
I used Lavinia Multifarious White Cardstock to make the background and added some white copy paper to mask off the area for the snow. I blended Distress Oxide Inks in the colours Wilted Violet, Shaded Lilac and Tumbled Glass using my Ranger Round Ink Blending Tool. Once I was happy with the blend, I splattered on some water then dried it with my heat-gun. For the tree background, I stamped various Lavinia Stamps: Tree Scene, Small Fairy Fir Tree and Fairy Fir Tree 2 - some are 1st generation stamping - others 2nd or 3rd - using Altenew Obsidian Black Pigment Ink.
I removed the snow mask then dried off my panel. I used a Powder Bag on the sky then stamped the Lavinia Mini North Star using Versamark Watermark ink and added some Ranger White Detail Embossing Powder that I added some Bellbird Place Diamond Glitter to - then heat-set it using my heat-gun.
I stamped the bunny - Lavinia Pipin Mini - and the word 'Hope' which is from the 3 Blessings set - using the Obsidian ink then dried it off so I wouldn't accidentally smear it. I used a White Posca Pen to make the snow then added tiny dots of glue with a Quickie Glue Pen and sprinkled on some of the Diamond Glitter for some lovely sparkle. I coloured under Pipin with a Grey Pencil just to ground him.
Lastly, I went around the image with my Ranger Blending Tool with a mix Wilted Violet and Shaded Lilac. Because I didn't have any matching cardstock for matting the main panel, I made my own using a mix of Wilted Violet and Shaded Lilac - and then matted that onto white cardstock. All the layers were glued together using Tombow Mono Multi Glue.
