I really debated about purchasing the Christmas Cuties stamp set from Stampin' Up! I just wasn't sure how much I would use it. In a moment of weakness – I know you know what I am talking about here! – I succumbed. But, I am sure happy that I did!!
The trees in the background of my card are stamped at varying heights with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on Whisper White Cardstock. Although it does not show well in my picture, I sponged Soft Sky Ink between the trees for a bit of blue sky.
The look of snow was accomplished by tearing several narrow pieces of Whisper White card stock. Pulling the card stock toward you results in a nice edge – wish I had edged it with some soft sky…. My imitation snow banks were adhered to the card and my sentiment from Christmas Cuties was stamped with Pear Pizzaz Ink at the bottom of my card.
. The image from the Christmas Cuties is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on Watercolor Paper. Coloring the image using an Aqua Painter with Pear Pizzazz, Basic Gray, Chocolate Chip, & Pink Pirouette Inks brought the image to life. Afer fussy cutting it, I popped it up with Stampin' Dimensionals but his feet are inserted in one of the snow banks.
The card is much brighter than it appears in the picture.
