Since my internet was down for 5 days, I wasn't able to do any challenges until today. Talk about withdrawal!! So I'm combining today's WT challenge and Monday's TLC challenge.
For my sparkling wintry card, I created a sheet of faux postage stamps using the pine forest image and a small, rectangular cut out (or reverse mask). I inked the forest w/ several colors of green pigment inks then stamped it inside the mask. I just moved the mask and repeated 5 more times. The wording and numbers were inked w/ a dk pink marker and stamped on top to complete the "stamp" look. I used a perforating blade in between the stamps and cut the outside w/ postage stamp scissors.
The sentiment was die cut and attached to a fancy tag die cut. The reindeer was inked w/ the pink pigment inks, stamped an cut out. I used a glue pen and Sparkling Snow glitter on the reindeer and to add snowflakes to my postage stamps. I used the Mauvelous glitter on the fancy tag and reindeer antlers. The peony colored layer behind the postage was die cut using a scallop border die. The finished card measures 4.25 x 5.5.
Thanks so much for looking! Close ups and links are on my blog: The Write Stuff
