Karen is our hostess in the Color challenge this week, and she has given us some rich colors that we can use for a Christmas card, if we wish. Christmas in July is our dessert option this month. This week's colors are Cherry Cobbler, Pretty Peacock and Bumble Bee.
I stamped my gnomes and gifts on a new-to-me paper that's supposed to be good for colored pencils. Meh. I'm still looking for my favorite. I did manage to color them, and used Gamsol to smooth out the shading, then cut them out with my Scan 'n Cut.
On a piece of watercolor paper, I stamped the trees, then used the Mossy Meadow reinker, watered down a lot, to do a loose wash on the trees. I stamped the greeting and cut it out with a die from Blueprints 12, stamped a few snowflakes, and spread some glitter gel for the ground. A dot of Glossy Accents and some glitter on the gnomes' pompoms, and it was pretty much done!
Thanks for stopping by, and please play along with us this week!
